Sparks fly as the leaves fall this autumn…For Penny Darling, love is best enjoyed second hand. As the owner of Bonfire and Bliss Bookstore, she’s content selling happily ever afters - just not living her own.

Then Jake “Monty” 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 can’t resist temptation. The plan is simple.

She’ll teach him to write the perfect book boyfriend to save his career. He’ll keep Hope Harbor’s 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?
