Once Upon a Fall: A Sweet Small Town Romcom
Rosie Harper is great at a lot of things. Saying no is not one of them.As the owner of Once Upon an Inn, a newly opened princess-themed inn in the charming town of Autumn Ridge, Vermont, Rosie has said yes to everyone—the town’s fall festival, a neighbor’s truck in her only garage, and every favor anyone has thought to ask. Meanwhile, her guest rooms are unfinished, and a balloon payment is coming due whether she’s ready or not.Then Dean Alden arrives with a rolling suitcase, a month-long reservation, and absolutely no patience for inefficiency.A business consultant by trade, Dean is only in Autumn Ridge long enough to decide what to do with the abandoned apple orchard his grandmother left him before returning to the life he’s built on hotel rooms and temporary addresses. Staying was never part of the plan.But somewhere between fixing Rosie’s curtain rods, getting pulled into small-town chaos, and watching her make room for everyone except herself, Dean begins to see more than a disorganized innkeeper with impossible plans.And Rosie begins to wonder what might happen if, for once, she stopped giving everyone else what they wanted and admitted what she wanted too.Because Dean Alden was only supposed to be a guest.He was never supposed to feel like home.Once Upon a Fall is a cozy small-town slow burn filled with autumn festivals, grumpy-sunshine tension, a dash of forced proximity, and a romance about finding the courage to ask for what you want—and finding home in the last place you expected.This book is part of the Falling for Autumn series, eight interconnected standalones written by eight amazing authors:1.
