The final book in the Lakefront Billionaires series by New York Times bestselling author Lauren Asher.
LORENZO
Five months. Two people “in love.”
One fake relationship with an expiration date.
Sounds simple enough. But Lily Muñoz and I have history. So, when she volunteers to date me so I can improve my public image, I should say no. Our past complicates everything, but since my future depends on her, I agree to her plan. Faking it for the public is expected, but falling in love in private? That isn't part of our arrangement.
LILY
Using a dating app sounded like a great idea, up until I discovered Lorenzo Vittori was my match. My sister's boyfriend hates him. My mom is wary of him. And me? I've spent the last year avoiding him. By when my business is threatened, I'm forced into teaming up with Lorenzo to save it. All I need to do is help him win the mayoral election, and he promises to protect my shop. It doesn't take me long to learn that I'm not cut out for fake relationships, but Lorenzo? He isn't capable of a real one.

Happy Tuesday, mis internet amigxs!\
\
We have a few announcements before we get to this week's releases!\
\
Our book club chat with Venessa Vida Kelley is up on YouTube! We chatted for over an hour last week and then they chatted a little more with book club privately after the recording ended. It was a fantastic evening. This is a private link, exlusive for Bindery subscribers only!\
\
I haven't heard from Raquel Vazquez Gilliland nor Isabel Canas regarding author chats for September and October book club author chats, but I'm not losing hope!\
\
HOWEVER, this post is the early launch for a GIVEAWAY of our September book club selection, Lightning In Her Hands by Raquel Vazquez Guilliland! I am giving away one copy of the book exclusively to a lucky Libritos or Lectores subscriber! All you have to do is like and comment ⚡and you'll be entered to win a copy of the book! Sorry, this giveaway is for US subscribers only! I'll pick the winner on Friday, August 22nd and will email you at the email address you followed me on Bindery to confirm address details and you'll have 24 hours to reply to claim your book. Good luck! You'll also have another chance to enter on Tuesday with the New Latinx Book Tuesday post AND I'll be announcing social media giveaways as well, so LOTS of chances for free books!\
\
If you're a Libritos or Lectores member, you have an exclusive giveaway for the book HERE!\
\
Next up, we have book club discussion with THE Silvia Moreno-Garcia! We'll be chatting The Bewitching and I'm so excited and nervous! I'll be posting the Zoom registration link this week.\
\
A NOTE ON FORMAT! I didn't realize until someone pointed out to me that including book links were redundant when I add the books as Books Mentioned at the bottom of the post, so, moving forward, I'll only feature audiobook links through LibroFM (their romance sale ends August 20th!) and book purchase links for any I can't add through Books Mentioned. I appreciate you all working through all the kinks as I learn and understand Bindery.\
\
AND FINALLY! Due to technical difficulties (when I worked in IT, we called it user error), a few August 12th releases weren't included in last week's newsletter. I have added them to this one for you and noted their release date.\
\
I didn't mean for the introduction this week to be SO LONG, so let's get started with the BOOK OF THE WEEK...\
\
\
\
The Possession of Alba Diaz by Isabel Canas (Audiobook) The setting: haunted mines in Mexico. Another sweeping historical horror romance as only Isabel could write it that's just right for spooky season AND our October book club selection!

Happy Saturday, mis internet amigxs!\
\
I'm thrilled to be back celebrating Latine releases this week. I mentioned it on Threads earlier today, but while publishing may be pumping out more Latinx books ahead of Latinx Heritage Month, I'm not expecting much promotion from them to celebrate the Heritage Month itself. Several authors and publishing friends have chimed in to agree that they're seeing less support this year as well. As the trend away from diversity continues in publishing, particularly in sales and marketing, I feel the work of putting out this weekly newsletter increases. I appreciate you all being here and supporting the work I am doing. It's not always easy, but knowing you all have my back is incredibly affirming.\
\
In light of these changes, I'm noticing, I'm considering something and wanted to run it past you...In the past, I've discussed expanding my work to YouTube at some point in the future, and I do have several drafts that I'm working on editing when I have time, but I think I may switch to a podcast format instead where I interview Latinx authors and luminaries. I have a poll up on Discord if you'd like to vote and add to the discussion going on. The poll will be up until tomorrow! I welcome and encourage your feedback!\
\
Speaking of author interviews, our chat with Venessa Vida Kelley is up on YouTube! We chatted for over an hour earlier this week and then they chatted a little more with book club privately after the recording ended.\
\
