Fall into Place

Lenore returns to her family’s Vermont apple orchard for one final autumn before it’s sold, struggling to let go of the place—and the dreams she once had there. As she looks through her late grandmother’s journals, old memories come rushing back, including her long-forgotten crush on Callan, the groundskeeper’s son.

Callan has always expected to spend his life in Whitbury, but with the orchard changing hands, even the future he counted on is suddenly uncertain. The last thing he needs is Lenore back in town. She’s his best friend’s little sister, she’s always been off limits, and he still remembers how badly things went the last time they saw each other.

As the leaves change and the orchard prepares for its final season, Lenore and Callan begin seeing their hometown—and each other—in a different light. A cozy autumn romance about coming home, second chances, and finding where you truly belong.

Perfect for readers who enjoy: small-town romance, childhood crushes, best friend’s little sister, second chances, and cozy fall vibes.
