Talk Turkey to Me

She wrecked his truck. He wrecked her plans…

Ryann didn’t mean to runover the town’s semi-feral Thanksgiving mascot—nor did she mean to ding the vintage truck belonging to Hayes Wellington, the town’s most emotionally constipated (and infuriatingly hot) single dad. Now stuck in Halloween Town with no car, no job, and a turkey named Reggie in a homemade splint, free-spirited Ryann reluctantly agrees to help Hayes cook Thanksgiving dinner for his late wife’s estranged family.

She’s California chaos in sparkly boots; he’s a vintage motorcycle restorer who barely speaks in full sentences. But in the week building up to Thanksgiving, parenting hacks go sideways, secrets start to thaw, and what begins as payback turns into a crash course in healing, home, and finding love where you least expect it.

About the author

Joss Wood writes romances featuring messy emotions, simmering attraction, sharp banter, and the kind of happily-ever-after that makes all the emotional damage worth it. Her books set in Solstice Springs feature a very quirky small town, lovable chaos agents, nosy neighbours, invested ghosts, all-year-round Halloween energy, and enough spice to fog up a window or two.

She’s been writing stories forever and has written more than eighty books for various publishers. She strives to create characters who are flawed, funny, emotionally vulnerable, and deeply relatable. When she’s not writing, she’s usually over-caffeinated, under-exercised, planning her next trip, or being emotionally manipulated by her two cats and her enormous, spectacularly badly behaved dog.
