Essentially Autumn by Abby Knox

The season of pumpkins, changing leaves and cozy drinks is here…
…and nothing goes better with autumn than a romance read.
But why settle for one romance when you can read FOUR in one sitting?

Essentially Autumn is a collection of Abby’s favorite fall-themed novellas, chock full of spice, meet cutes, fall festival shenanigans, magic potions, emotional homecomings and, of course, happily-ever afters. Includes FOUR never-before-published bonus epilogues!

This volume contains the following:

Pumpkin King
Henry, a small town pumpkin farmer, takes a chance on hiring Jane, a single mom who’s down on her luck, and they both get much more than they bargained for.

Pumpkin & Spice
Maxine “Pumpkin” Novak is coming home to Chicago to do three things: eat turkey with her family, chill with her best friend, and avoid all the people who gave her that nickname. But a run-in with an old classmate sidetracks her plans in a heartbeat.

Bartender Talbot “Stoner” Spice has worked hard to live down his high school nickname and work through the demons of his past. When his old crush, Max, walks into his bar two days before Thanksgiving, everything he knows turns upside down. (Content notes: Some issues discussed in this novella may be difficult for certain readers. Specifically, non-graphic, non-descriptive mentions of past SA of the hero and religious trauma. Please take care of yourself first and always.)

The Halloween Bet
Dive bartender Blake has zero interest in joining in the silliness of his town’s Fall Festival, including a new ghost tour of a house that’s definitely not haunted. Blake’s ex girlfriend and local historian Dahlia is determined to get Blake into the spirit, and bets him that he won’t last one night at the haunted house without getting properly spooked.

Halloween Flip: A paranormal romantic comedy
Maple wishes her unappreciative boss could spend a single day in her shoes. But maybe she should not speak her wishes out loud, within earshot of her boss, so close to Halloween, while drinking a suspicious brew given to her by a stranger in a town full of whackos who believe in magic. Hollis has been under Maple’s spell since the day they met. Sure, he’d like to get closer to her. But not close enough to literally take over her body.
