When a heartbroken celebrity marriage counselor seeks refuge in a lakeside cabin during a glorious leaf peeping season, everything wrong in her life starts clicking into place in the dreamiest possible way...and during Halloween, no less! Readers of Josie Silver and Sophie Cousens will adore New York Times bestselling author Stacy Finz's emotional character arcs and cozy fall time vibes in this Hallmark Movie-esque tale steeped in magical realism. Just one year ago, Chelsea Knight was living the life she'd always wanted. Marriage to the perfect guy, a thriving career, and a gorgeous condo overlooking San Francisco Bay. Then out of nowhere, her husband, Austin, left her. Ironic, because Chelsea fixes marriages for a living. In fact, she's famous for her techniques. Naturally, she's been using her expertise to win back her ex-and when he invites her for drinks, she's sure her work has finally paid off. Until he announces he's engaged. Devastated, Chelsea seeks refuge in the beloved small-town lake cabin she and Austin now take turns using. When she arrives, the streets are dazzlingly decked out for Halloween, the autumn leaves are exceptionally vibrant, and the locals are especially warm and welcoming. It's downright magical-and so is Knox Hart, a talented jack-of-all-trades who's fixing her roof. Chelsea is instantly drawn to him-and to the simplicity of country life. Slowly, she becomes immersed in the townspeople's problems and finds a sense of belonging-leading her to reevaluate her own path . . . But something about the idyllic hamlet-and Knox-seems too good to be true. A trick more than a treat. And when she ultimately learns the truth, her heart is shattered. Miraculously, Austin is there to mend it. It's everything she'd hoped for. Or is it? On the cusp of making all her dreams come true, Chelsea must find the strength to make an impossible choice . . .
