Welcome back to Honeybee Hollow—the greatest small town in America.

Lola Gamble breezes elegantly into Honeybee Hollow to attend a weekend party for former Governor Lassiter’s family, but she finds way more than she bargained for. She meets two totally swoon-worthy men, falls for them both and discovers something very interesting about their history.

Banger is a musical genius with fans and groupies following his every move. He plays drums (often shirtless) for the popular band Wildflower Whiskey and composes songs and musical scores for entertainers all over the country. Banger has plenty of hidden talents and could easily be in the running for “sexiest man alive.” No one is exempt, it seems, from his allure. His immediate chemistry with Lola has tongues wagging all over town.

Silver fox Buford Wallace owns The Hive—the hottest spot in town—and manages musicians. When he hears Lola sing, he wants her. He wants to manage her career and make her his.

Banger has an idea. He isn’t a selfish man. He’s willing to share.

And so is Lola.

A fateful trip to Los Angeles could change everything for them.

This MMF romance will keep you on your toes, navigating the highs and lows of their sizzling relationship.

Hollywood Glitz and Glamour

It's 1939, the Golden Age of Hollywood, and the major movie studios make all the rules.

Only a very lucky few receive the coveted contracts from Hollywood producers—but they come with heavy strings attached. Actors and actresses are beautiful, talented, and treated like pawns on a chessboard. It's all about image, income, and hedonism.

This MMF romance will warm your heart, but it also might break it a little.

The signings at local Barnes & Noble stores were terrific! I hope to do more of these in the future. Everyone was SO nice, and I signed a huge pile of books.

This is what readers say about

Everybody Knows:

"Very well written, full of drama, love, intrigue, mystery, steam, villains, friends, secrets, family, suspense, and a small caring town."

"This is a well-written romantic suspense, and I was kept on the edge of my seat throughout. I adored the characters, and I loved their story."

"I loved the characters and the setting of Everybody Knows. The quirky locals had accepted Sloane into the fold and claimed her as one of their own, especially when danger came a-calling."

"If you're a fan of small-town settings, lovable characters, and a romance that makes your heart flutter, "Everybody Knows" is a must-read. Ariella Talix delivers once again with heart, heat, and just the right touch of suspense."
