Fall has arrived again in Half Moon Bay, bringing golden leaves, harvest dreams, and unexpected romance…

A year after Miranda and Jim found love in Half Moon Bay, fall has returned to the charming coastal town. Pete and Shelby are house-hunting as they consider taking their long-distance relationship to the next level, and they've all been invited to a very special wedding: the couple whose engagement Miranda accidentally crashed last year.

Miranda's covering the ceremony, while her niece Elise has been hired to create the floral arrangements. The Green Grocer looks like a Gilmore Girls set with stunning chocolate brown sunflowers and cranberry roses intermixed with rustic branches and woodsy foliage.

When Elise realizes the caterer is Cal Louis—her high school crush, who barely knew she existed—her heart skips a beat. Cal claims he's returned to Half Moon Bay for good, leaving the grueling San Francisco restaurant scene behind. As they collaborate on the wedding, their chemistry is undeniable, especially after Cal kisses her under the stars. But when Elise discovers Cal's been offered a prestigious San Francisco job, she's crushed. Was the catering gig just a stop-gap? Meanwhile, Pete has been planning an autumn hiking proposal for Shelby—and he's recruited Cal to help. Can Pete play matchmaker and give his stubborn cousin the happy ending she deserves?

A cozy romance about choosing love over ambition, believing in second chances, and finding your way home.
