Update 5/11/24 - I do my best to post 1x a day, in the mornings Pacific time.

Can re-reading Howl's Moving Castle rekindle that special bond between two former summertime besties? Could it lead to romance?

Shelby Alpinieri's beginning to think she's cursed. In just two days her work and love life both fall apart. Her Horse Girls coloring book publisher suddenly wants proof she can become an influencer on Instagram or no deal. Her "almost boyfriend" Jack demotes her to "friends only" and now she has no date for this weekend's big fundraiser. Worse, her former boss from hell is twisting her arm for a big favor: convince her old friend Rune Borstad (aka Asher Dillion the former TV heartthrob) to be a new client.

Shelby hasn't talked to Rune in a decade, ever since he ditched her on the dance floor at a Sundance Film Festival party with no explanation and ghosted her. Now, as if conjured by magic, Rune's next door at his Nan's old farm. He's given up acting and has a terrible reputation as a serial heartbreaker. But he's volunteered to care for his troubled tween cousin Lorelei this summer. Shelby can't fall for him again, but he owes her a favor! What if she asks him to be her fake date for the Summer of Love event on Saturday?

Dedicated to those on the creative path, seeking to return to the creative path, or longing to get on the creative path for the first time. This is a book for YA fantasy classic loving horse girls everywhere. It's a slow-burn atmospheric romance perfect for fans of Sarah Addison Allen's "The Girl Who Chased the Moon," and "The Peach Keepers," Linda Holmes's "Evie Drake Starts Over," and Kate Clayborn's "Love Lettering."
