**Spicy version**

Everyone loves Mr. October...except for his fake girlfriend.

Bianca
I thought I was having the worst day of my life, but the nightmare continues when I come home and find surprise houseguests. Without telling me, my grandmother invited her former best friend, Nonna Francesca, to stay with us for the entire month of October and help run our yearly pumpkin patch.

Worse, she brought her grandson, Giovanni, a thirty-something Italian playboy who calls me Doctor Death because I'm a former hospice nurse. (At least he gave me a promotion?) We played together when we were kids, but that was years ago, before our grandmothers had a falling out.

My brother is suspicious of Giovanni, my grandmother fawns over him as if she didn't already have four adoring grandchildren, and he charms every other person he meets, including our next-door neighbor, Vanessa.

She uses her sway to get Giovanni crowned as our town's "Mr. October."

The prize? A series of fall-themed dates Vanessa expects to go on with Giovanni.

He's not interested, but he's such a people pleaser he doesn't know how to say no. So he begs me to pretend we're dating...

Giovanni
I was happy for the excuse to escape Maine, but Apple Ridge isn't much of an escape anymore. Not like when I used to come here growing up.

My grandmother's showing her age more every day, and Bianca and her brother are nothing like the fun-loving kids I remember.

But Bianca surprises me by agreeing to pose as my fake girlfriend in exchange for some help with her seniors' group.

Soon, we're experiencing the best Apple Ridge has to offer, and I'm stunned to realize that the life I've been looking for was waiting here all along.

Falling for Mr. October is a fall-themed, fake-dating romcom with meddling relatives, small-town charm, and romcom antics.

Giovanni Cafiero first appears in The Holiday Hate-Off!

Note: There are TWO different versions of this romcom:

1) A
spicy open door version with some strong language and sex scenes
2) A
closed door version with mild language and only kissing.
Please choose the version that's best for you!
