Autumn brought her home. Love made her want to stay.

Amberlyn Avery thought she’d never come back to Acorn Field Heights. But when her family’s four-generation pumpkin patch faces foreclosure, the big-city marketing manager finds herself trading high heels for work boots and rush hour for hayrides.=

Her plan is simple: save her parents’ farm before the Eastbrook developers take it. The problem? Levi Thatcher. The boy next door who used to be her best friend and the one person she thought would be in her future forever… until she left him behind.

Levi’s spent the last eight years growing his farm, guarding his heart, and convincing himself he’s over her. The last thing he needs is Amberlyn returning and digging up memories he buried under harvest seasons and stubborn pride. But there she is, wobbling through the mud in four-inch heels. And when the mayor pairs them up to work together on the town’s Fall Festival, proximity turns into something a lot harder to ignore.

Between runaway pumpkins, late-night corn maze messes, and one unforgettable Harvest Moon Dance, Amberlyn and Levi discover that some roots never really die and that home isn’t always a place. Sometimes it’s a person.

*A cozy, closed-door small-town romance filled with crisp autumn air, second chances, and all the pumpkin-spice feels—perfect for readers who love Jenny Hale, Sarah Adams, and sweet small-town love stories that taste like apple cider.
