‘Warm, witty, and completely wonderful! My favourite read of the year so far.’ JAIMIE ADMANS

The next romance for fans of Laurie Gilmore and Bonnie Woods to lose themselves in this Autumn.

Rosie's life is not turning out as planned. She dreams of becoming a novelist, but she's lost her writing job to an AI chatbot and discovered her boyfriend cheating …

Rosie sets off for a fresh start, only for her car to break down at Autumn Meadows Farm in the Cotswolds, where she is mistaken for a job applicant and finds herself planning 'Pumpkin Retreats' to save the farm from developers.

Embracing farm life, Rosie rediscovers her passion for writing – and begins to fall for the gruff but undeniably handsome pumpkin farmer, Zain. But when Rosie learns Zain has been using the same AI chatbot that replaced her to plan their dates and script romantic lines, her happiness is threatened.

Can Rosie and Zain patch up their differences to write their own happy ending?
