To Fall or Not to Fall

When an anonymous love letter tumbles out of my favorite book and straight into my pumpkin spice latte, I'm convinced fate is sending me a sign…

I'm Ava James, fall queen, pumpkin spice enthusiast, proud owner of Beachy Balls, Biscuits, and Books, and dating consultant extraordinaire (in my head). If I had a personal ad, that's exactly how it would start.

Right now, though, I'm juggling three urgent goals:

1. Find a date for the Coconut Beach Fall Festival, so my grandma will stop playing matchmaker for the holiday season.

2. Save my beloved bookstore-bakery from being snatched up by a mysterious corporate developer, who wants to turn it into yet another nondescript hotel.

3. Uncover the identity of my anonymous letter-writer—and maybe, just maybe, ride off into the autumn sunset (or at least a not-too-bumpy hayride) with them.

However, when two charming and handsome tourists arrive in town, each with secrets and smiles that could melt the icing off a cinnamon bun, my perfectly crisp fall plans start to unravel… just like the cute lights around my doorway.

I might be the queen of all things cozy and pumpkin-spiced… but for the first time, I may be in way over my head.

To Fall or Not to Fall is a small-town, cozy romance full of love, laughter, fall vibes, and spice. It features a grumpy billionaire hero who soon finds himself besotted with our sweet heroine, who is full of sunshine and charm.
