Happy Wednesday !

Fall has officially arrived (and the leaves are starting to change in River Ridge 😉), and that means cozy sweaters, crisp mornings, and—if you’re Rett Edwards—getting ready for another busy season at the Christmas tree farm.

I love this time of year because it reminds me of simple joys and second chances, which is what The Thing About Mistletoe Kisses and The Thing About Blind Dates are all about.

🎄 In The Thing About Mistletoe Kisses, Rett’s story begins in October as he steps in to help run the Spake family’s Christmas tree farm. What he doesn’t expect is to find love waiting among the rows of evergreens.

“Sometimes, the people we least expect are the ones who make us feel like we’ve finally come home.”

📸 In The Thing About Blind Dates, Brock and Marlowe’s story unfolds at the same tree farm in River Ridge—proof that even the most unexpected moments can lead to something beautiful.

“Sometimes love finds you when you’re standing in the exact place you swore you’d never be.”

Both stories are part of my It’s A Love Thing series—heartfelt, small-town romances about family, forgiveness, and the beauty of finding love when you least expect it.

🍁 What’s one thing you love to do in the fall? 🍁

Do you head to a pumpkin patch, bake something cozy, or curl up with a good book and a mug of something warm? Hit reply and tell me—I might even feature some of your favorites in my current WIP.

Have a wonderful week!

Abandoned. Forgotten. Alone. At least, that’s what Maddie Bennett has always believed.

Struggling to survive as a freelance writer in London, Maddie’s carefully constructed world begins to unravel. When financial strain forces her to retreat to her aunt’s old stone house in the Scottish countryside, she expects a quiet summer—one where she can hide from the past. But what she finds hidden in the attic cracks everything wide open: a box of letters from the mother who walked away... or so she thought.

As Maddie delves into a past long buried, secrets begin to surface—about her mother’s fractured identity, a truth guarded by the people she thought she could trust, and a love that looked nothing like she imagined. Torn between resentment and revelation, Maddie is faced with a painful question: Did her mother really abandon her—or did she sacrifice everything to protect her?

Their second chance was the one that mattered most. 

When Chance Overstreet left love behind ten years ago, he never thought it would grace his life again, but when an injury ends his military career, he finds himself back in his hometown of Courage, Colorado. Managing a ski resort comes with its own challenges especially when he finds out his high school sweetheart is his employee. 

Merribeth is barely holding it together when the man who left her for the army shows back up in her life. While juggling her son, her job, and her unreliable car, she has to find a way to work with Chance despite their history. 

When a ghost from her past threatens her son, nothing is more important than saving the people that Chance can’t keep out of his heart.
