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.
