Cassidy's bartending job and dreams of being a professional dancer give her a strict no romance attitude, especially since her mother's recent passing. Elliot, on the other hand, is a savant when it comes to charming the ladies, but he makes his intentions clear. He'd much rather harass his best friend and make money doing graphic designs than have a steady relationship. However, trouble brews when these two self-sufficient individuals are thrust together in the midst of their friends' life-defining discoveries of heritage, sexuality, and loyalty. They say spring is for new love... But fires blaze in autumn.

🍂

Our Autumn Fire is a contemporary romance with elements of the literary genre. Touching on themes of self identity, heritage, and sexuality, the story follows a group of six individuals juggling major life changes and the curve balls that come with them.

Elliot Quentin is a freelance designer with a side of him that never left the party days of college behind. Struggling with a new client who may have just spawned from hell, he finds solace in his interactions with the quiet, but spunky Cassidy Latton.

Cassidy is a bartender vying to join a prestigious dance troupe and fulfill her dreams of becoming a professional dancer. Although she's still affected by her mother's passing, she is able to be the rock for her two roommates: Hayley Patel and Alicia Lang.

Hayley works with a company that likes to run her ragged, but that's hardly her focus. She's been having thoughts about trying to find her biological parents, and her childhood friend Wesley Holter may have just convinced her to do it.

Wesley Holter loves being a teacher at the local high school, but when his roommate and college buddy Elliot makes a stupid joke about him on campus, his world turns upside down.

Meanwhile, Alicia despairs over her long time boyfriend Andre Soto. Quiet, shifty, and just a bit suspicious, his actions may just tear them apart.

Emily Mitchell, 35, living and working in New York City, has struggled through a string of failed relationships. When her boyfriend of 7 years takes her out for their long-awaited anniversary dinner, Emily is sure that this time will be different, that this time she will finally get the ring.

Reeling from her unsatisfying, high-pressure life, Emily decides she needs a change. She decides on a whim to drive to her father's abandoned home on the coast of Maine, a sprawling, historic house where she'd spent magical summers as a child. But the house, long-neglected, is in dire need of repair, and the winter is no time to be in Maine. Emily hasn't been there in 20 years, when a tragic accident changed her sister's life and shattered her family. Her parents divorced, her father disappeared, and Emily was never able to bring herself to step foot in that house again. Now, for some reason, with her life reeling, Emily feels drawn to the only childhood place she ever knew. She plans on going just for a weekend, to clear her head. But something about the house, its numerous secrets, its memories of her father, its oceanfront allure, its small-town setting-and most of all, its gorgeous, mysterious caretaker-doesn't want to let her leave. Can she find the answers she's been looking for here, in the most unexpected place of all? Can a weekend become a lifetime? FOR NOW AND FOREVER is book #1 in the debut of a dazzling new romance series that will make you laugh, make you cry, will keep you turning pages late into the night-and will make you fall in love with romance all over again.
