The Pumpkin King Picked Me: A BWWM Small Town Fall Romance
Every October, Maple Hollow crowns a Pumpkin King and Queen to rule over its month-long harvest festival.
Aaliyah Washington entered as a joke.
Then she actually won.
Now the twenty-eight-year-old bakery owner is stuck spending thirty-one days judging pie contests, leading hayrides, carving pumpkins, posing for ridiculous festival photos, and attending the Harvest Ball with the one man in town guaranteed to get on her nerves.
Henry Calloway.
Elementary-school teacher. Orchard boy. Cinnamon-roll sweetheart.
And the irritatingly handsome white man Aaliyah has spent three years arguing with over whose cider donuts are better.
Henry thinks their rivalry is fun. Aaliyah thinks he needs to stay away from her bakery, her donuts, and preferably her last nerve.
Unfortunately, Maple Hollow has other plans.
The entire town seems convinced their Pumpkin King and Queen belong together. Henry's fourth graders are asking when they're getting married. Aaliyah's grandmother has chosen sides. And one particularly nosy seventy-seven-year-old has started an actual betting pool on when Aaliyah and Henry will finally kiss.
Aaliyah intends to make every single one of them lose their money.
There's only one problem.
The more October unfolds beneath glowing harvest lights, apple orchards, bonfires, pumpkin patches, and crisp autumn skies, the harder it becomes to remember why she was fighting Henry in the first place.
Especially when she begins to realize that their three-year rivalry might have been flirting all along.
The Pumpkin King Picked Me is a sweet and cozy BWWM small-town fall romance filled with playful rivals-to-lovers banter, forced proximity, meddling townspeople, autumn festivals, cider donuts, a cinnamon-roll hero, and all the warm fuzzy feelings of falling in love in October.
