🍂 Welcome to autumn at its coziest.
Set in the charming New England village of Briar Glen, the story centers on sixteen-year-old Lucy Kane — a girl who works at her mom’s small-town coffee shop, Cup o’ Jo. Lucy is decidedly team small-town bakery over corporate chain — especially when the town’s newest arrival is a flashy coffee franchise opening directly across the street. But what really shakes things up? The fact that the new kid at school, Jack Harper — the owner’s son — just might be the most distracting person Lucy has ever met. 
As autumn paints the town in gold and crimson, Lucy finds herself thrown into a swirl of rivalry, pumpkin-spiced lattes, and unexpected attraction. With Cup o’ Jo’s future on the line, she must decide whether her loyalty lies with old-fashioned charm or fast-food convenience — and whether she can ignore the bright eyes of someone who seems as much a threat as he is a possibility.
