Fall romcom • fake dating • small-town charm • pumpkin patch vibes • accidental celebrity MMC • “Shirtless Chef” YouTube star • meddling relatives • failing family farm • festivals + romcom antics • he has to leave

Perfect for readers of:

  • Cozy fall romances with pumpkins, festivals, and a whole town invested in the drama
  • Fake dating that starts as a business move and turns into real feelings
  • Celebrity-in-hiding heroes (with a soft domestic streak and lots of cooking)
  • Meddling family, small-town chaos, and big romcom energy

Spice: 4/5

Open-door romance with on-page sex scenes and stronger language (per author note).

The vibe

Bianca is immediately suspicious when her nonna’s former best friend arrives for an extended stay—along with her adult grandson, Giovanni—claiming they’re there to “help out” on Bianca’s family farm for the fall. Bianca doesn’t buy it… even if Giovanni is gorgeous, charming, and constantly cooking for everyone.
Then she finds out why he ran: Giovanni was recently unmasked as the anonymous YouTube sensation The Shirtless Chef, and he came to Apple Ridge to escape the chaos. Too bad the chaos follows him—especially after an accidental kiss gets snapped by a photographer and suddenly everyone thinks he came to town for her.
With the farm failing, Bianca begs Giovanni to play along. A fake relationship with an accidental celebrity could be the thing that saves everything. Soon Giovanni’s crowned the town’s Mr. October, they’re drowning in fall festivals, and the feelings start getting dangerously real—because Giovanni knows he’ll have to leave… and Bianca isn’t sure she can let him.
