Fall I Want is a feel-good, spicy small-town, romantic comedy with a billionaire who falls first and harder. Grab a pumpkin spice latte, a warm fuzzy blanket, and make your way down to Cozy Creek.
Autumn
The brokenhearted billionaire visits Cozy Creek to escape. I never expected to become his fake girlfriend or fall madly in love...but here we are.
My first impression of Zane Alexander isn't great. The second is worse, but when he uses his powers of persuasion to get me to hang out with him, I cant say no. We quickly go from familiar strangers to flirty friends.
When my ex returns, Zane flawlessly pretends to be my boyfriend to protect me. Hes so damn good at it, I almost believe it.
I dont know when our relationship moves from pretending to passionate, but I catch feelings. As our exes desperately crawl back into our lives like zombies, I realize there is only one man for me, and (f)all I want is him.
Zane
Everything changes the moment I see her. Autumn's enchanting gaze makes my heart race,so I push her awayto protect myself. Immediately, I regret it. But when I find her standing in my haunted house, I convince her to be my friend. She begrudginglyagrees.
As the leaves transform and Cozy Creek's fall festivities come alive, our playful charade blossoms into something more.
The lines between real and pretend begin to blur, and I find myself falling under her spell.
I should keep my broken heart in check, but instead, I fight for love that feels like magic.
This womanis all I've ever needed and (f)all I want.
