I am beyond thrilled to work with these amazing indie bookstores for the release of Fall Out of Love!

Coming this fall, a heartwarming and hilarious romantic comedy about a woman who writes happily-ever-afters—but has entirely given up on finding her own.

With nothing left to lose, she packs her bags and escapes to a reclusive small town, determined to focus entirely on herself. To guarantee her getaway goes exactly to plan, she draws up a strict list of boundaries:

Rule #1: Do not fall in love.
Rule #2: See Rule #1.

But life is messy, and soon things get stickier than the town’s famous maple syrup when she can’t resist the infuriatingly charming guy helping her out. The harder she tries to convince herself that romance isn’t in the cards, the more fate keeps shuffling the deck.
