Let's Give 'Em Pumpkin to Talk About

She's a little edgy. He's a lot of sunshine. Love's about to catch them completely off gourd… A spicy, small town, fall romance you can read in one sitting!

Textile artist Sadie Fox did not sign up for this. When she agreed to come home to Pea Blossom, Indiana, it was to care for her father's beloved pumpkin patch. The deal was that—just for the summer—she would grow a ginormous pumpkin, win the Indiana State Fair's pumpkin contest and finally win back her father's (grudging) respect.

Instead, a horde of wild hogs destroyed the. entire. patch. Which is precisely when the annoyingly sexy, sunshiny next-door neighbor shows up.

Josh Thatcher is a tech millionaire who traded in the office for growing gourds, including experimental squash hybrids. And for the life of her, Sadie can't understand what he sees in her sweary, tattooed, prickly self—or why he's offering to help his biggest competitor. But a storm-fueled kiss proves there's definitely something growing between them.

Maybe it's just attraction. Maybe it's more. Whatever it is, it's already bigger than Sadie's fast-growing pumpkin…or the secret that Josh has been hiding.
