Bianca
Call me suspicious, but I know something’s up when my nonna’s former best friend shows up at our house for an extended stay with her adult grandson Giovanni. Nonna says we’re lucky they’re going to “help out” with our failing family farm for the fall. I don’t buy it. No man would abandon his life to play his grandmother’s vacation companion.
Is Giovanni gorgeous?
Yes.
Charming?
Yes, and he’s always cooking for us.
But he’s definitely hiding something, and one day at our pumpkin patch, I discover his secret:
Giovanni was recently unmasked as the anonymous YouTube sensation known as The Shirtless Chef.
Everyone back home knows, so he left to escape the chaos.
Too bad the chaos follows him, and now I’m part of it.

I didn’t mean to kiss Bianca.
I definitely didn’t mean to kiss her in front of a photographer, but one stolen snap later, everyone’s insisting that I came to Apple Ridge for her.
I'm about to clear it up when she begs me not to—
The farm is failing, and a fake relationship with an accidental celebrity could solve her problems.
So I agree.
The next thing I know, I’m crowned the town’s Mr. October, Bianca and I are drowning in fall festivals, and I’m falling for a woman I know I’ll have to leave.
**Falling for Mr. October is a fall-themed, fake-dating romcom with meddling relatives, small-town charm, and romcom antics.**
