The first volume of Cozy Nights in Vermont novellas, including:

FALL INN LOVE

Iris Bertone finally landed her dream reporting assignment: reviewing the most romantic Vermont inns for a prestigious travel site. She'll travel incognito as part of a couple, but when her photographer BFF can't join, Iris's new partner greets her at the train station. It's her worst nightmare: Sam Larsson, Iris's overly competitive, irritatingly handsome decade-long journalism rival.

They'll hayride, they'll brunch, they'll sip tea in fussy dining rooms and eat bonfire s'mores after leaf-peeping hikes. It would be a pumpkin-spice infused dream if they didn't have to come back to the same issue night after night: Only one bed to share.

Can these rivals keep their hands to themselves for three weeks? Or will close quarters finally break down the walls they put up a long time ago?

FALLING IN VERMONT

Sophia Bertone books a six week stay at a quintessential Vermont pumpkin farm planning to perfect her rustic fall recipes for her upcoming cookbook. But after raccoons take up residence in her rental cottage pantry and the thatched roof caves in at the height of leaf-peeping season, she has no other option than to move in with her landlord, a quiet flannel-clad pumpkin farmer.

Widower Blake Jameson should keep his eyes on his pumpkin patch at the height of the season, not the curvy goddess renter who moves in with him for six weeks. If he had the funds to house her anywhere else, he'd do it just to avoid temptation. She's on her way back to Dallas soon and he can't risk getting attached, not after feeling a spark after so long. But her apple cinnamon donuts, her bewitching smile, and the way she looks rumpled in the morning sunlight in his kitchen just might have him falling to his knees to make her stay.
