There's Pumpkin About You : Athena Carstairs

Pumpkin spice, small-town charm, autumn leaves…and a second chance at love.

When Sadie Winters returns to the picture-perfect town of Briar Glen, she plans to help save her family's struggling café—not fall for the man she left behind.

But Noah Taylor is still there, and with the town's annual fall festival approaching, avoiding her former best friend—and first love—is becoming impossible.

Between pumpkin patches, cozy cafés, autumn festivities, and old feelings that refuse to stay buried, Sadie may discover that sometimes the place you tried to leave behind is exactly where you belong.

Warm, romantic, and deliciously autumnal, There's Pumpkin About You is a cozy small-town romance perfect for sweater-weather reading.

Perfect for readers who love: pumpkin spice, cozy cafés, small-town romance, second chances, friends-to-lovers, fall festivals, autumn vibes, and swoony seasonal romances.
