All he wants is a Christmas memory…

McKenna has loved Trey since they were kids, but she’s had enough. When Trey is sent away for five years, McKenna is determined to do what’s right for her and baby TJ, which means putting her mistakes—namely, Trey—behind her and moving on.

When Trey is released early, he returns to Marietta determined to beg McKenna’s forgiveness and become the father TJ needs him to be, only to discover that he’s too late. McKenna is marrying local insurance agent Lawrence Joplin in a candlelight Christmas wedding.

Or is she?

Once again, Trey risks everything, but this time it’s for love….and the memory of one perfect Christmas together as a family.

Now a GAC Family Original Movie titled An Autumn Romance

One night. One dance. One chance to turn a Valentine’s Ball into something unforgettable…

Taylor Harris prefers her romance between the pages of a good book—not splashed across Marietta, Montana’s gossip mill. Quiet, practical, and perfectly content running the town library, she wants nothing to do with Marietta’s playboy, billionaire tech tycoon Troy Sheenan. However, when circumstances force her into attending the Valentine Ball on his arm, Taylor braces for the world’s most awkward night. Troy might set half the town swooning, but she has zero interest in being another notch on his designer belt.

Troy, on the other hand, is intrigued. He came back to Marietta for business, not pleasure, but the beautiful librarian with the sharp wit and frosty smile has him thinking about more than mergers and acquisitions. She doesn’t want him—and for the first time, he wants someone who’s not impressed by his money or charm. Now he’s determined to melt her icy reserve before the clock strikes midnight… because in a small town where everyone knows your business, sometimes love sneaks in quietly… and changes everything.

It was a passion neither could forget—until he did.

Tia Hightower isn’t sure how she went from being a powerful witch to fake-dating her ex at a winter house party.

For eight years, she has refused to speak Henry Pearlmatter’s name unless it has been to curse it. Now, with their family businesses merged, she and her insufferable ex must pretend to be together to secure a wealthy warlock’s investment. Sharing a room—and a bed—with Henry is bad enough. Even worse is that Tia might have had a small potion mishap…and accidentally erased Henry’s memories of her.

Henry might not remember his ex, but it’s clear there’s still something between them. Whatever went wrong in the past, he intends to figure it out. Faking feelings for Tia isn’t exactly difficult, but one thing’s for certain: starlight carnivals and mulled-wine kisses can’t change history.

With the threat of Henry’s memories hovering over every stolen moment, their time together is running out. But a little bit of Christmas magic and the snow-melting heat between them have Tia wondering if it’s time to risk her heart once more, even if it’s with the warlock who once broke it…

I’ve never been one to follow the rules–especially when they’re someone else’s.

Skylark, Colorado, was supposed to be a pit stop. A quick detour while I figured out my next move. I wasn’t expecting her.

Iris Dixon. The girl I let go ten years ago. The one I should have fought for. Now she’s standing in front of me, all grown up, still impossibly beautiful…and looking at me like I’m a surprise root canal.

Too bad the universe just paired us up in her brand-new dance class.

She says she hates me. I don’t blame her. I was reckless, angry, and I broke her heart when she least deserved it. But I’m not that guy anymore.

She thinks she’s the one playing it safe. Truth is, Iris has always been the brave one, keeping her life together while the people around her fell apart. Now she’s trying to loosen up and live a little. I want to be the one she lives it up with.

But just when it feels like we might get a second chance, the ghosts of our past come back swinging.

I’ve made a lot of mistakes, but letting her go again? That’s one I won’t repeat. Even if it means rewriting every rule I’ve ever known.
