A BRAND NEW small town romance series from bestseller Victoria Walters, perfect for fans of The Pumpkin Spice Cafe 🧡🪵 'The best autumn romance I've read!' real reader review 'The perfect blend of cosy comfort and spice, just delicious!' Kiley Dunbar I remembered my mum telling me that autumn was a chance for nature, and for people, to let go of anything that was holding them back... Willow Connor has one shot to save her family's farm - turning it into Birchbrook's first ever pumpkin patch. There's just one problem: she has exactly zero pumpkins and only six weeks to make it happen. Everyone in the close-knit town thinks she's crazy, but she's determined to prove them wrong. Enter Dylan Henderson, a hotshot property consultant with a clipboard full of reasons why selling is the smarter choice. Determined to stand her ground, Willow makes him a bold offer - stay and watch her turn the farm around. To her surprise, he agrees. Now, as Willow throws everything into making her pumpkin patch a success (even if it means buying every pumpkin in the county), she also finds herself learning a thing or two from Dylan - about business, about ambition... and maybe about love? Will she save the farm and prove everyone wrong? And when the deal is up, will Dylan walk away - or has he found something worth sticking around for? A cosy, small-town romance full of autumn vibes, opposites-attract chemistry and a guaranteed HEA! Perfect for fans of Laurie Gilmore, Lucy Score and Carrie Elks!
