the story
One hometown return. One old flame.
A second chance waiting to spark.
Hazel Brennen never thought she’d be back in Autumn Ridge. But when her L.A. life explodes, the IT specialist returns home after eight years—determined to heal, help at her family’s coffee shop, and avoid small-town gossip.
What she doesn’t expect? Luke Harrison.
Her brother’s best friend.
Her ex-boyfriend.
The reason she left in the first place.
Now he’s the Fire Chief, stationed across the street, and impossible to avoid. Between her meddling family, his two matchmaking dogs, and a “volunteer” spot helping with Fall Festival decorations, Hazel keeps colliding with the man she swore off.
Pumpkins, fairy lights, and one firefighter she can’t resist.
Forced to work together, old sparks flare fast. With jealous exes, nosy neighbors, and wounds that never quite healed, this second chance may take more than pumpkin spice to pull off.
Hazel swears she’s only staying for a month. Luke is determined to make it forever.
Second chances are messy. Small towns are meddling.
And her ex? Hot enough to burn twice.
A Fiery Fall Love is a feel-good, small town romance, set against the backdrop of a cozy Vermont autumn. With enough spice to make your ears burn, this is the story of coming home—to your family, your heart, and the person who’s been waiting for you all along.

the story
One childhood promise. One dangerously charming mechanic.
And one love Molly was never supposed to keep believing in.
Being homeless in Autumn so close to the Fall Festival was not part of Molly’s plans. With an eviction notice in her hand, an art career going nowhere, and nowhere else to turn, she reluctantly accepts the empty room above Sam Brennen’s mechanic shop.
There’s just one problem.
Sam.
Her longtime crush and the man who once promised to marry her.
They were children when he made that promise and Molly knows better than to believe it ever meant anything. Especially now that he’s grown into Autumn Ridge’s charming, ridiculously handsome mechanic, with a smile for everyone and no shortage of women willing to fall for it.
Molly has spent years loving him quietly.
Sam has spent years having absolutely no idea.
Living above his shop should be simple. All Molly has to do is keep to herself, rescue what is left of her struggling art career, and stay far away from the man she knows she can never have.
Except Sam keeps finding reasons to run into her. The man she is trying to protect her heart from, is now infiltrating every part of her life, like he has always belonged there. Like he wants to stay.
Sam might not remember the promise he made all those years ago.
But he’s starting to look at Molly like he wants to make her a new one.
Old promises are dangerous. Hope is even worse.
And Autumn Ridge’s favorite mechanic is about to fall for the one woman who never believed he would.
A Reckless Fall Promise is the second installment in the Autumn Ridge series. It’s a cozy fall romcom with warmth and love and every flavor of fall there is, with open door scenes and just enough spice to curl your toes.
