Love and Pumpkins: Festival of Hearts
Love is in the air—and it smells like cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and soap.
Phoebe Garland thrives on bold patterns, big feelings, and the beautiful chaos of her quirky family—but when a surprise five-figure repair bill lands in her lap, she needs sales, not distractions. Her handmade soaps must fly off the shelves at this weekend’s pumpkin festival, or she’ll be in serious trouble.
Hunter Young is a numbers guy, not a festival guy. But when his sister begs him to run her booth, he agrees—only to find himself stationed next to Phoebe, his childhood best friend and longtime crush. It’s been thirteen years since high school, and their old rivalry still simmers... along with something sweeter.
As hayrack rides, softball games, and pumpkin-spiced competition bring them closer, Phoebe and Hunter must decide: is this just a nostalgic weekend encounter, or the beginning of something real?
"Love and Pumpkins" is a heartwarming contemporary romance novella brimming with small-town charm, autumn magic, and second chances.
