Sparks fly as the leaves fall this autumnā¦
For Penny Darling, love is best enjoyed second hand. As the owner of Bonfire and Bliss Bookstore, sheās content selling happily ever afters - just not living her own.
Then Jake āMontyā Montgomery comes home. Her best friend. A struggling author. And now unfairly attractive, with inked forearms and wicked green eyes.
When Monty proposes a fake-dating deal, Penny canāt resist temptation. The plan is simple. Sheāll teach him to write the perfect book boyfriend to save his career. Heāll keep Hope Harborās busybodies - and their obsession with Penny's love life - at bay.
But as their lessons unfold, the line between fiction and reality grows dangerously thin.
As Hope Harbor glows with autumn, will Penny and Monty finally become more than a love story waiting to be written?
