Powerball winner Josie Morgan has learned the hard way that dating, in her financial situation, will only lead to heartbreak. She's been perfectly happy living the single life and running the Pumpkin Everything country store. Too bad her mother can't seem to take the hint. Unwilling to face another lineup of suitors and gold-diggers at this year's Thanksgiving dinner, Josie opts to stay behind in Autumnboro to host a free meal for anybody without a place to go. When Josie's family turns up in Autumnboro, faking a relationship with funeral planner Riley Parker seems like the only way to make it through the holiday. Like every other man on Earth, Riley's only interested in her money. So what if she has a teeny, tiny crush? If he agrees to help her out, she'll gladly write him a check. But as Thanksgiving draws closer, turkey and stuffing aren't the only things heating up, and maybe money isn't the only thing on Riley's mind. Josie's already hit the lottery once, dare she hope for anything more?While MAPLE SUGAR CRUSH is the sequel to PUMPKIN EVERYTHING (SOON TO BE A HALLMARK CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE!) it can be read and enjoyed as a standalone novel.
