Rhett harbors a secret crush on autumn-loving Amelia, but one embarrassing incident in high school is enough make the two of them actively avoid one another for the rest of their lives. That is until ten years later when a dying fall festival and decades-long cold case inexplicably bring them together.

Amelia takes over the annual North Louisiana fall festival and hopes to give it new life. With the help of her best friend and coworker, Beth, and her feisty Aunt Margie, she’s well on her way to making the event one like the city has never seen before. At least she was until a meddling old woman, rumored to be the town witch, tries to sabotage it.

Rhett is a local newspaper reporter. On the heels of a broken marriage, his work is suffering and he needs a good story to pull him out of his journalistic rut. The newspaper archives lead him to the cold case of a boy who went missing 20 years prior.

When the missing boy’s story leads Rhett to the site of the city’s fall festival, Amelia and Rhett are forced to confront their embarrassing past and work together. And fate (and one very mischievous one-eyed rescue dog) wants them to be together.

Full of romance, love, heartbreak, mystery and all kinds of autumnal and pumpkin spicy goodness, A Match Made in Autumn is perfect for fans of found family, self-discovery and serendipity.
