Mara’s ex just got engaged.
Dylan’s back in town after eight years away.
With tourism on the decline, both are counting on Ravenridge’s fall festival to breathe life into the struggling town.
After Mara accidentally breaks an ancient artifact rumored to be cursed, Dylan—her childhood best friend turned world-traveling blogger—spins the story into a viral 'cursed festival' rebrand. Thrown into a partnership neither of them wants, they’re forced to work side by side to save the event—and maybe the town itself.
Dylan is charming, infuriating, and maybe exactly what Mara didn’t know she needed. As sparks fly and old wounds resurface, Mara must decide what’s worth saving: the past she’s clung to or the future she’s only just begun to imagine.
