"Fans of beloved Southern films will flip for this charming small-town tale." —Woman's World for The Sisters Cafe
Falling for the wrong person makes the best gossip.
Gabe Trimble has spent his whole life in Sunny, Texas, running the family auto shop that's been passed down for four generations—and quietly carrying a crush on Autumn Alexander ever since high school. Now Autumn is back in town, hosting a wildly successful podcast about women's rights and running against Gabe in the local election. In a town this small, everyone has picked a side, and Gabe and Autumn seem about as compatible as sweet tea and motor oil.
He was raised in a traditional Texas family. She's built a career challenging expectations. Their debates light up town meetings, their campaigns turn messy fast, and neither of them plans to fall for the other. But late-night porch talks and secret meetups under the Texas stars start changing everything.
First, they insist they aren't enemies. Then they admit they might be friends. And before long, they're sneaking around town, hiding a romance that would send Sunny's gossip mill spinning. Of course, in a small Texas town, secrets never stay buried for long. Once the truth comes out, Gabe and Autumn have to decide what matters more: winning an election—or choosing each other.
