Emmy Spice has everything she needs—her late grandmother's bakery, a calendar full of pumpkin bread orders, and Maplewood's Harvest Festival just around the corner. Everything but the courage to tell her best friend she's been in love with him since forever.

When firefighter Adam Fall returns home, Emmy's world tilts. Their easy friendship feels different now—charged, unsteady, dangerous to her heart. But risking the truth means risking the one person she's never wanted to lose.

As autumn nights glow with bonfires and cider, Adam and Emmy must decide if friendship is enough…or if love has been waiting for them all along.
