Cabincore Stories

Ninety days. One movie house. And a "No-men" rule that's about to be shattered by the guy next door. Cassandra Meraki is one double-shift away from a total breakdown. Between a nursing career that's sucking her dry and a friend group that's shallow, she's done. And don't even get her started on her cheating ex-boyfriend, who doesn't understand the word blocked. So she does what any sane, delusional book lover would do: she rents the iconic Montana ridge-house from her favorite movie, Caught in Déjà Vu. The goal: 90 days of silence to finally finish her own book. The reality: Having a suitcase full of things she's doesn't need and the crushing realization that she has no idea how to survive the wilderness. But fear not... Her neighbor, Adonis, is everything a rom-com lead should be-grumpy, mysterious and infuriatingly attractive- except he's real. In the movies, the girl always gets her happy ending. But in the middle of Montana with a persistent ex on her trail and a neighbor who hates her guts, Cass is about to find out that real life doesn't follow a script.

A genderqueer hillbilly and a haunted woman must break a generational curse that has entwined their lives in the abandoned coal-stripped mountains of the Pennsylvania Wilds. *** Desperate to flee a dark past, Finley drives off a cliff and prays to the ancient hemlocks below to catch her fall. But in the abandoned hollows of the Pennsylvania Wilds, everything comes at a price. Tasked by an undead Not-Deer, Finley must find the three talismans that mark the mountain's boundaries in order to break a century old curse, one that has not only haunted the women in her family for generations, but has also bound the supernatural beings to the mountain, including the dead. Fortunately, the handsome genderqueer hillbilly up the road, River Hawthorne, is just as eager [maybe too eager] to break the curse. Together, they navigate the woods where hungry trees walk and other demonic haunts roam, growing closer every moment. But breaking the curse also comes at a price and Finley must decide what freedom is worth when her past comes crawling back through the woods to haunt her.

Wren Calloway has a year and a day to save her grandmother's house. She has exactly one terrible idea for how. When a forgotten clause in her town's century-old charter threatens to hand Cormorant House over to a luxury resort developer, Wren has only one path to keep it: prove the house is a real home, shared with another person, for a full year. The catch? She's lived there alone since her grandmother died, and the deadline is closing fast. Enter Asher Reyes: her best friend of six years, and, inconveniently, the architect who designed the very resort trying to take her grandmother's house. He quit the firm in protest months ago. He's the only person she trusts enough to ask. And he says yes before either of them can think too hard about why. It should be simple. Move in. Play house for the county inspectors. Save the house. Stay friends. It is not simple. Because the resort's PR team gets wind of the "local love story" living inside the property they're trying to buy, and decides it's the best marketing they've ever had, plastering Wren and Asher's faces across a banner the size of a barn. Because Mrs. Okafor, the town clerk with a weakness for romance novels, keeps "helping" in ways that nearly blow the whole arrangement. Because somewhere between the fake engagement and the real ring, the two of them stop pretending and nobody bothers to say so out loud. By the time the actual audit arrives, neither of them is sure anymore which parts were ever fake at all. A Year and a Day is a slow-burn, friends-to-fake-fiancés romantic comedy set in the misty Cascade foothills, perfect for readers who love small-town charm, found family, and a love story that sneaks up on you one shared bathroom and one stolen ring at a time.
