When Savannah Hale returns to her small hometown to reset her life, the last thing she expects is to run into Liam Brooks-her old high school crush turned broody brewery owner. Desperate to avoid awkward questions at a family wedding, Savannah agrees to a fake dating arrangement with Liam. It's a simple plan: show up, smile, survive the event, and walk away unscathed.

But neither of them planned on real feelings getting involved.

As cozy fall days turn into fire-lit nights, Savannah and Liam begin blurring the lines between pretending and wanting more. Beneath the teasing banter and picture-perfect moments, they're both hiding fears of getting hurt again-and when the truth comes out, the illusion of safety shatters.

Now, with everything on the line-family expectations, career decisions, and their own guarded hearts-they'll have to decide if what they've built can survive outside the fantasy.

Can a fake relationship built on borrowed time lead to something real... or will it fall apart with the leaves?
