Something About September

Rebecca Macintosh has always loved September, with its crisp mornings, its nostalgia and its sense that anything could happen. This year is different. Her late grandmother has left her the family diner in Bramley Hollow, and she has just thirty days to get back home and fix the place up, or face the consequences.

The trouble is the town has only one contractor, and it is Cort Adams. A year ago he turned her down, and she had planned to steer clear of him for good. Back then he was the high school football star she tutored. Now he is a single dad, and annoyingly he looks even better than she remembers.

With the leaves turning gold and the days growing cooler, Rebecca starts to see her hometown, and Cort, in a different light. She may also have to face the possibility that the dreams she has been chasing were never quite the right ones.

This fall-flavored second-chance romance asks whether a spark can catch in the autumn chill and bring Rebecca home to stay. It is a cozy read for sweater weather, best enjoyed with something pumpkin spiced nearby.
