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.
