A Season for Falling

A swoony, heartfelt, and evocative standalone paperback original romance about first love, second chances, and finding yourself in the season of change--perfect for fans of Misty Wilson's FALLING LIKE LEAVES and anyone looking for their next Gilmore Girls-esque fall read.

Some seasons change everything....

Five years ago, Claire was a child star, the goofy punchline of one of America's favorite sitcoms. Until a series of devastating betrayals by her manager-father left her broke, humiliated, and desperate to disappear.

Now she's just another high school senior in postcard-perfect Glenridge, Connecticut, determined to leave her past behind. Not even her best friend knows who she used to be--or that she's scraping together every spare dollar to hopefully attend NYU.

When a movie shoot lands in Glenridge--and with it, her former co-star and ex-best friend, Luke Cordova--it threatens to stir up not only Claire's past, but also the dizzying crush she once had on Luke. He offers Claire a deal: let him shadow her to research his role, and he'll pay enough to make her college dreams possible.

As the woodsmoke-tinged October air grows colder, and she falls for Luke (again), Claire must confront what really drove her to hide--and whether she can step back into herself without being consumed by everything she's tried to forget.
