"Till we fall" is a modern fairy tale for grown-ups. So tenderly is magic woven into the real-world fabric of this extraordinary story that it becomes natural and plausible. Among the author's role models in the genre were Erin Morgenstern, Eowyn Ivey, Ali Shaw and Audrey Niffenegger. Sophie is out for a walk in Hamburg's Municipal Park with James, her Labrador Retriever. She encounters Oliver, a young man sitting on a tree stump crying bitterly. He seems to be desperate. When she asks him what's wrong, he claims to be the Fall personified, and that he is frantic because he has lost the ability to usher in the season and all the changes that come with it. It is already October. The leaves should have started to fall long ago. If Oliver won't succeed in finally initiating fall, all of nature is in jeopardy. Sophie decides to help the stranger. Together they try to find a way for Oliver to regain his power. It doesn't take long for Sophie to fall in love with him. During their search, they discover not only the true nature of seasons, but also how the seasons relate to all human feelings.

It's not always about how we fall- it's about where we end up once we land. I remember the very first time I laid eyes on Cole Lincoln. It still feels like yesterday when he stumbled into my life with his messy brown hair and dark eyes. Even though I was only ten years old at the time, I knew right then and there that he was going to change everything. From that point on Cole and I were always together-inseparable-and I naively believed we'd be best friends forever. But forever didn't last nearly as long as I expected. We grew up and grew apart, life driving the distance between us, but my love for Cole never faltered. Even long after he moved away, leaving me and our little town behind, I still carried a piece of him with me every single day. Because Cole wasn't just my childhood best friend- the boy who knew me better than anyone else in the whole world. He was also my first love- a part of my very core. When a tragic death brings us face to face again after six years, every single memory comes rushing to the surface. Only this is not the boy I fell in love with all those years ago. The man before me is hardened, intimidating, and so damn sexy I practically melt when those dark eyes meet mine for the first time in six years. And like the first time he walked into my life, I know with complete certainty that everything is about to change. How We Fall is a STANDALONE Romance Novel.
