A Fiery Fall Love (The Autumn Ridge Series, #1)

One hometown return. One old flame. A second chance waiting to spark. Hazel Brennen never thought she‘d be back in Autumn Ridge. But when her L.A. life explodes, the IT specialist returns home after eight years-determined to heal, help at her family‘s coffee shop, and avoid small-town gossip. What she doesn‘t expect? Luke Harrison. Her brother‘s best friend. Her ex-boyfriend. The reason she left in the first place. Now he‘s the Fire Chief, stationed across the street, and impossible to avoid. Between her meddling family, his two matchmaking dogs, and a "volunteer" spot helping with Fall Festival decorations, Hazel keeps colliding with the man she swore off. Pumpkins, fairy lights, and one firefighter she can‘t resist. Forced to work together, old sparks flare fast. With jealous exes, nosy neighbors, and wounds that never quite healed, this second chance may take more than pumpkin spice to pull off. Hazel swears she‘s only staying for a month. Luke is determined to make it forever. Second chances are messy. Small towns are meddling. And her ex? Hot enough to burn twice. A Fiery Fall Love is a feel-good, small town romance, set against the backdrop of a cozy Vermont autumn. With enough spice to make your ears burn, this is the story of coming home-to your family, your heart, and the person who‘s been waiting for you all along.
