Home at Summer's End: An absolutely perfect small-town romance

Escape to the charming, flower-filled landscape of Yokel County, California...

Rose Anderson is through with being pitied for her single status at the lively gatherings at her family's flower farm. She's busy arranging stunning bouquets, especially with the fall harvest season in full bloom, and doesn't need a man.

Enter Cole McKittrick, a newcomer trying to escape his big-city woes. Yokel County's small-town charm, its crimson fall foliage and cozy atmosphere, is bringing back childhood memories he’d rather forget.

Soon, Rose and Cole find themselves entangled in a delightful deception: a picture-perfect public romance. But as the fall colors fade, Cole's hidden past threatens their charade. Will Rose turn away from love, or will she realize he's not just taken over her home, but also her heart?

A heartwarming fake relationship romance, perfect for fans of Robyn Carr and Debbie Macomber.
