NEW romcom series starter!
Couldn't load pickup availability
What happens when a runaway celebrity bride lands in the arms of the man she left behind—without either of them knowing they’re being set up?
Exactly what you’d expect.
Ava Sinclair was supposed to be marrying Hollywood’s golden boy. Instead, she escapes her made-for-TV wedding and ends up in the wilderness... with Joe Mahoney, her ex—the first love she ghosted without a word.
Now she’s torn between two lives: one of flashbulbs and fame, the other of pine trees and the man who knew her before the world did.
Joe’s charming, flirty, and emotionally unavailable on purpose. It’s a system that works—until Ava crashes back into his life via the back of his pickup truck.
Add one matchmaking book club of meddling grandmas, and a suspiciously on-theme book of the month (One True Loves), and things start looking less like fate... and more like a trap.
Some love stories don’t end. They just wait—for the ending they were always meant to have.
Love & Leave is a closed-door romantic comedy full of second chances, small-town charm, five-alarm kisses, and a grandma-led covert operation in the name of love.

Synopsis
Synopsis
Love was never on the packing list. Neither was my best friend.
I came to this wilderness school with a plan:
✔ Teach science.
✔ Flirt with Joe, the hot camp director.
✔ Finally land that happily-ever-after Tillie’s oracle cards promised me.
What I didn’t plan on?
✔ My best friend Will crashing the summer uninvited.
✔ Unruly teens with more drama than reality TV.
✔ A stowaway guinea pig.
✔ Unexpected love triangles
✔ Cranky little air sacs of doom (aka my lungs) betraying me mid-hike.
Oh—and that kiss under the stars that blew my perfectly planned summer right out of the water.
Now we’re knee-deep in mud, hormones, and mischief, and I’m just trying to survive without tripping on a tree root and face-planting… or worse—falling in love with the wrong guy.
If you love best-friends-to-lovers with a twist, meddling matchmakers, and wilderness chaos served with laugh-out-loud humor, grab your bug spray and dive in.
For fans of closed-door romcom authors... Emma St. Clair, Jenny Proctor & Savannah Scott!

I really enjoyed this new standalone story that sets up Kristeen Groth's newest series set in the small town of Moonlit Lake. This story is a second chance romance about Joe Mahoney & Ava Sinclair and I enjoyed getting to see how their story comes together as well as the occasional reference to Tangled: A Sweet Friends-to-Lovers Romantic Comedy that Joe was originally introduced in. It was also interesting to have the occasional chapter in Tillie's perspective with the MoonLIT Mavens getting together and plotting and gossiping. I look forward to reading the next book in this series Pride & Protection about Gina and Evan that was being discussed at the end of this story.
