Bookouture acquire romance series from author Harper Graham

Bookouture are thrilled to announce the signing of romance author Harper Graham in a two-book deal. Commissioning Editor Rhianna Louise acquired World All Language rights from Cindy Bullard at Birch Literary. The first book will publish on 28 August 2025 and launches the Maple Falls series, set in a cozy small town in Vermont, with a quirky cast of returning characters and a spicy romance at the heart of every book. Book One will be set in fall, in an inn surrounded by amber leaves, with pumpkins everywhere and the smell of cinnamon and woodsmoke in the air. Book Two will publish in October 2025 and will deliver the magic of Christmas on every page.

Harper Graham lives with her mischievous spaniel in a cozy small town in Connecticut. Her quirky neighbours may or may not have inspired the residents of her Maple Falls series. When she’s not hiking with her daughter, baking her grandmother’s recipes or reading in her favourite coffee shop, Harper can be found writing the sweet and spicy romance stories of her own dreams.

Rhianna says,

‘I could not be more excited about this heart-warming, cozy series which is perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls and anyone who loves a spicy romance with a HEA guaranteed. Harper Graham has created the most charming small town and the chemistry between her main characters is off the charts. It’s an utterly irresistible start to a very exciting new series and I’m delighted to be publishing it. I’m thrilled this talented author has chosen to join Bookouture.’

Harper says,

‘The Maple Falls series has a special place in my heart. The characters are quirky, the small-town life charming, and the cozy romance is perfection. I absolutely adore writing in this world and bringing it to life. My hope is that Maple Falls becomes your go-to escape—like your favorite latte that’s served just right.’

Cindy says,

‘Harper Graham is a fresh voice in the world of cozy mysteries. Readers will be charmed by her delightful characters and heartfelt romances’
