As Seen On TV

Adina Gellar has given up on dating in New York. Everything she knows about romance she learned from made-for-TV holiday movies, which means the answer is obvious: find a small town with a harvest festival, quirky locals and a shortage of eligible women, and love will follow.

Pleasant Hollow looks like the place. A big-city real estate magnate is moving in on it, and Adi has the story that could finally land her a job at the online magazine she wants. Then she has a meet-cute with Finn Adams and discovers he is not the innkeeper's charming nephew but the project manager for the development — and that most of the townspeople actually want the thing built.

As Seen on TV is Meredith Schorr's debut with a major publisher, a rom-com that affectionately takes apart the Hallmark formula while writing a real one of its own. It is a standalone.
