A Cup of Autumn
A nerdy university professor. A guarded coffee shop owner. And a high-stakes Halloween bash that proves some things are worth the risk.
Keaton Andrews had his life perfectly mapped out… until his university department was cut and his tenure track vanished. Retreating to Silver Falls to regroup with his family, the last thing the analytical academic expects is to be floored by the beautiful, unimpressed barista at the local coffee shop. For the first time in his life, Keaton encounters a problem he can’t solve with a textbook: how to get Raine Hanover to give him the time of day.
Raine is officially on a hiatus from romance. She’s poured her heart into her thriving coffee shop and has no room for charming smiles, especially from a distractingly handsome “nerdy” professor who is only passing through. But when she’s unexpectedly tasked with organizing the town’s massive Halloween bash, Keaton steps in as her reluctant assistant, and the friction between them quickly turns into an unexpected connection.
As the autumn leaves turn, Raine has to decide if she’s willing to risk her heart on a man whose dreams are rooted in a world far from Silver Falls. Especially since his visit and their romance will be over by the time the season changes.
