Gowns & Gavels | *Coming Soon* November 11, 2025
She stitched together a new life. Now her past is ripping at the seams.
Taylor Rousseau traded haute couture for humble anonymity, leaving behind the cutthroat world of LA fashion after a red-carpet disaster nearly unraveled her career. Serenity, Texas, was supposed to be her fresh start—a place to design in peace, far from backstabbing mentors and scandal-hungry critics. But when a lawsuit lands on her doorstep, she realizes she’s still tangled in the threads of her past.
Her former mentor isn’t just suing—he’s scheming. Turns out, without her designs, his career has faded faster than last season’s trends, and he’s desperate to reclaim the genius he let slip through his fingers. But Taylor’s creations were hers alone, stitched together and sold in secret. Now, she’s a rising fashion success and doesn’t even know it.
Enter Clinton Conners, a sharp-dressed corporate attorney with a no-nonsense approach to the law—and life. He doesn’t do fashion, and he definitely doesn’t do mess.

Ethan Moore had it all.
He ran the Ladder H Distilling Company, married the heiress, and lived the perfect life—until one reckless affair shattered it all, leaving him with more than just regrets.

But with two daughters—Rosie, the poised heir to the Ladder H empire, and Tiffany, the free-spirited child he kept in the shadows—he’s navigating uncharted territory.

The man she once dismissed as a mistake is now the one holding everything together, and her growing reliance on him is more terrifying than the illness itself.
As Ethan cares for Tiffany and Rowan, he discovers the kind of love and purpose he’s spent his life chasing. But as Rowan fights her toughest battle, she faces an impossible question: Can she open her heart to the man who once broke it? It’s always been Rowan and Tiffany against the world—can they make room for one more?

Some mistakes break you. Others lead you right where you’re meant to be.

Her Christmas escape plan? Cozy nights, no drama.
Jessica Louis is ready to trade a lonely Serenity, Texas Christmas for literally anything else. So, when the picturesque Holly House Inn in snow-dusted Cedar Glen pops up, she books an impulsive, one-way ticket to festive solitude.
But solitude quickly gets a charming, if slightly grumpy, interruption. Graham, the inn’s reserved host, is more interested in managing his two curious daughters, Clara and Noelle, and the inn’s meticulously planned holiday schedule than any spontaneous guest.

Then, a full-blown snowstorm descends, trapping them all. As the lights flicker out, Jess doesn’t just step up; she takes charge, turning forced togetherness into impromptu charades, warm cocoa confessions, and shared moments under quiet snowfall. When Graham falls ill, Jess nurses him back to health with a quiet care that chips away at his carefully constructed walls. He finds himself battling not just the storm outside, but the long-held grief within, as Jess helps his family rediscover a joy he thought lost forever.
What started as an escape becomes a heartwarming journey home, proving that sometimes, the best gifts arrive in the most unexpected packages – especially when wrapped in twinkling lights and a hint of Christmas magic.
Can a Christmas escape become a permanent refuge, and can two lost hearts find a second chance at happiness in the most magical of seasons?
