If you've ever dreamed of vacationing in the northeast during autumn, then embrace Brook Haven, Vermont where falling leaves and falling in love happen with the season. Sophie Michelson has always been serious. Even as a little girl, she knew what she wanted out of life. And unlike other little girls, that definitely wasn’t a husband and children. Sophie has a head for business and a burning desire for one thing: to own a bed and breakfast, just like the one she stayed at as a child. It will take everything she has, and she’s prepared to do anything to realize her dream. Now, after years of hard work, the time has finally come. With her brand new—okay, so maybe a little old—bed and breakfast in Brook Haven, Vermont, she is set to become the successful business owner she was always meant to be. There’s only one thing standing in her way: renovating the run-down B&B in time for Brook Haven’s annual Harvest Festival and the official start of the tourist season. Lucky for her, her mother is there to guide her through it and keep her life distraction free. Soon, though, the renovations get delayed, and Sophie starts to wonder if her B&B will ever be ready to open. The only solution is to call upon Brook Haven’s best carpenter to speed construction along. But as it turns out, Drake Tanner is exactly the kind of distraction she doesn’t need. Drake has spent his entire life in the quaint town of Brook Haven. Everyone there knows he’s the one you call when you need a hand. When he meets Sophie Michelson, he thinks his search for love might finally be over. As the two grow closer, Sophie learns that sometimes feelings can’t be denied no matter how hard you try, and she eventually has to admit to hers, just before a tragic accident threatens to tear them apart. Soon, she’s faced with a choice: follow her head, as she’s done all her life, or finally trust her heart. less

October Kiss is a stand-alone novel of 40,000 words and is the perfect read for an afternoon of tea and romance. Please join the town and people of Brook Haven, Vermont where the season for falling in leaves and falling in love is year-round. Sabrina Lewis left the small town of Brook Haven, Vermont when she was eighteen years old and did her best to never look back. Growing up in a town where everyone knows your business is hard, especially for a little girl whose father up and left one day without any explanation. Sabrina did her best to get past it even though the whispers and the gossip in town never failed to annoy her. Falling in love with Nicholas Barkley definitely helped. When Sabrina left town to go to college and chase her dreams, she assumed Nicholas would go with her. She was devastated when he told her he couldn’t leave his home and family, and even more so when he said he couldn’t do a long distance relationship. She left for college feeling abandoned for the second time in her life with no plans to ever return. Nicholas Barkley loved three things in life: his family, Sabrina and Brook Haven. When Sabrina told him she was leaving to go to college he was crushed. He had a job at the post office and in his mind he and Sabrina would settle down close to his parents and six siblings and raise their own children becoming an example of the All-American family. Thinking he was doing the right thing for them both, he told her to go without him and then lived with the hope that someday she would return to him. As life would have it Sabrina’s circumstances sent her home to Brook Haven and when she and Nick come face to face it’s as if time had stood still for the past five years. While Nick’s family urges him to forget Sabrina, the rest of the town seems to be doing their best to push them together. Through a series of self-discoveries Nick and Sabrina find themselves back at the same place they were five years before…in love, but yearning for different things. As Sabrina ponders her future, Nick struggles with the idea of losing her all over again. Will one of them decide to compromise before it’s too late? less
