Romance

A second chance, small-town, seasonal romance that's as sweet and nostalgic as apple pie! Perfect for fans of Lucy Score, B.K. Borison and Elsie Silver.

A fall inspired second-chance romance about a woman who returns home after inheriting her grandmother's diner, only to discover the contractor she's hired was her high school crush . . .

Sweater weather is better together. This September, Rebecca Macintosh is back in Bramley Hollow and she's not sure how she feels about it. The newly crisp morning air and golden evening light that usually fill her with that delicious back-to-school sense of anticipation aren't quelling her nerves. Because the last time she was in Bramley Hollow she and Cort Adams, her high school crush, had a nearly-almost moment that left her reeling.

She's been summoned home by town-spirit tyrant, Mayor Crispin, and has thirty days to fix up her late grandmother's diner or face the consequences. And the only contractor in town? Cort Adams. As the leaves start to fall, could a spark kindle bright enough that it might call Rebecca home?
