Fall Into Place - by Kristyn J Miller (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Leaving was easy. Coming back changes everything.

Kristyn J. Miller's next cozy autumn romance!

Lenore's life is falling apart. Propelled home from Manhattan to rural Vermont to spend one final autumn at her family's historic apple orchard before it's sold, Lenore struggles to say goodbye. Not only to French Hill Farm, but to everything that once inspired her art. Soon enough, entries in her late grandmother's journal reignite memories of Lenore's childhood--and the crush on the groundskeeper's son she's since tried to forget.

Callan's path has been laid out for him for as long as he can remember: live, work, and die in Whitbury, Vermont. He's taken over for his father as the groundskeeper at French Hill Farm, but now that it's soon to be sold, his future has turned abruptly uncertain. The last thing he needs is a distraction--like Lenore French showing up out of the blue, looking even better than he remembered. As his best friend's little sister, she's always been off limits, and the last time they saw each other, he blew his chance anyway.

Lenore has long believed that her dreams are too big for the small town she grew up in--the same town Callan believes he can never outrun. But one last autumn together could paint their hometown--and each other--in a brand new light.

Review Quotes

"Cozy romance that captures themes of belonging, transition, and second chances with warmth and emotional clarity." --Library Journal

"Warning: reading this book may result in uprooting your entire life to live on an apple orchard in Vermont. With prose that makes you want to linger on every page and a love story more delicious than an apple cider doughnut, FALL INTO PLACE feels like being wrapped in a warm flannel blanket. Nobody does cozy fall romance like Kristyn J. Miller." --Victoria Lavine, international bestselling author of Any Trope but You

"Warmly written, and with a quiet Vermont orchard setting that feels like the perfect escape from the chaotic world right now, Miller's autumnal love story draws the reader in with its nostalgic small-town setting, starry nights, misty mornings, scenic hikes, and long-awaited kisses. A perfect fit for romance readers craving a tender and cinematic love story to read under an antique quilt, with a warm cider and a smile." --Jacqueline Firkins, author of Marlowe Banks, Redesigned

"A poignant, beautifully written romance about grief, home, and second chances, Fall Into Place is a swoon-worthy, slow-burn love story that feels like a warm hug for your heart." --Valerie Bowman, internationally bestselling author of The Honeycrisp Orchard Inn

"From the moment I stepped into Lenore and Callan's sun-dappled apple orchard, I knew I wouldn't want to leave. Fall into Place balances gentle, generous warmth and pulse-quickening heat as it confronts grief, the self-sacrificial act of creativity, and what from our pasts we let go of--versus what we choose to keep. Each page of Lenore and Callan's love story is a reminder that while wanting opens us to heartbreak, the best parts of life come from the vulnerability of being broken open. Enchanting as a New England farmhouse in the fiery color of fall, this is the perfect autumn escape." --Ellen O'Clover, author of The Heartbreak Hotel
