Billionaire seeks refuge in Cozy Creek Autumn's ex complicates their lives Fake dating arrangement blurs lines Fall festivities build their connection Zane falls first and hardest

A brokenhearted billionaire, Zane Alexander, visits Cozy Creek to escape his past and meets Autumn, whose first impressions of him are poor. He uses his powers of persuasion to talk her into spending time with him, and their familiar-strangers-to-flirty-friends rhythm becomes a public fake-dating arrangement when Autumn's ex returns and Zane pretends to be her boyfriend to protect her.

They spend the season amid Cozy Creek's fall festivities and even a haunted house encounter, and as the charade continues the lines between pretend and real blur, with Zane admitting he falls first and harder for Autumn.

Brokenhearted billionaire Zane Alexander convinces Autumn to act as his fake girlfriend in Cozy Creek to repel returning exes and protect her reputation.

Reader guide

What to Know Before Reading Fall I Want

A small-town, seasonal setting with fall festivals and a haunted house as backdrop. Much of the setup centers on a fake-dating arrangement between Autumn and billionaire Zane Alexander and on their shifting emotional boundaries. The returning exes provide the immediate external conflict that prompts the pretense. The tone is presented as romantic and spicy rather than supernatural or suspenseful, with emphasis on relationship dynamics and public deception.
