"I'll admit it, I was totally addicted... Sweet and light and comforting like an apple pie, with an emotional core that had me starting to tear up... extremely heartwarming and perfect small-town vibes." Reader review

Fifteen years ago, Will Robertson ran from his destiny, leaving his family farm and everything he was meant to be behind. So when he's forced home to small-town Glenriver, only to find the farm's irritatingly sexy manager Casey Reeves living happily in his childhood home, naturally they hate each other on sight.

Will's plan is simple: sell his late father's apple farm and return to the city ASAP. But when a collapsed bridge strands him with Casey, "simple" goes out the window—along with Will's carefully maintained emotional distance and, let's be honest, most of his common sense.

Between corporate vultures circling, family secrets, and one very distracting farm manager, Will has a choice to make: stick to the plan that's kept him safe for all these years, or finally stop running long enough to see just what he's been missing.

Emotional, feel-good, and swoony—an enemies-to-lovers slow burn romcom with heart and found family at its core. Perfect for fans of The Charm Offensive, Zarah Detand and Casey McQuiston.
