I’ve had a Valentine’s Day curse ever since dumping my cheating ex twelve months ago… Leaving me celebrating this year in a crowded Soho pub with only my two BFFs, a bar full of bacholorettes on a bender and a jug of pomegranate daquiris for company…
Tash and Imo decide the only way to break my curse is to have my first-ever one-night hook-up – strictly no relationship agendas allowed. Then they spot the perfect candidate – all broody bad boy vibes and shoulders to die for – sitting at the bar alone.
Armed with the cheesiest chat-up line ever invented (gee, thanks, Tash and Imo) and one too many pomegranate daquiris, I decide to go for it… What’s the worst that could happen?
Um, quite a lot actually, when Cal turns out to be the world’s hottest kisser (yup, that cheesy chat-up line actually worked!), but I pass out on his sofa and wake up the next morning with the world’s worst hangover and no idea if we broke my curse or not.
One major misunderstanding and a touch of life modeling later, and Cal finally breaks my Valentine’s Day curse, for real…
But what do I do when my brooding billionaire booty call turns out to be so broken my sneaky heart starts wanting to break the second rule of one-night hookups: absolutely no falling in love allowed!

Media Mogul, Cormac Sheenan, had no desire to become a family man, but when his two-year-old goddaughter, Daisy, is orphaned, he adopts her, moving her from Montana to his home in Southern California, and becomes a devoted single father, juggling parenting duties with running his successful publishing, TV, and radio enterprise.
But two years later, a frightening incident at Daisy’s school shakes Cormac, and he decides to move Daisy–and his business–back to Montana, where life is simpler and he has family nearby.
Now four, precocious Daisy strikes up an unlikely friendship with Marietta’s seasonal Santa Claus, and believes he’s the real thing, even though Cormac points out to her that this jolly old Kris Kringle is renting a room at Bramble House, not living at the North Pole. Daisy’s not worried, but Cormac is, as Rent-a-Santa has promised his innocent daughter she’ll have a mommy for Christmas.
Cormac is livid with Kris. He’s not at all ready to settle down, and he’s definitely not getting back together with his old flame, Whitney Alder, so Santa can stop playing matchmaker, as it’d take a miracle to make him fall in love, never mind marriage material.
But that’s exactly the kind of miracle our angelic Santa Claus has planned.

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.
