Colt Mancinkus watches his family's legacy crumble. Mainer Farms carries generations of history, but mounting debt from industry changes threatens everything. He'll try anything to keep the farm alive. Then Darby Culhane arrives in Whynot, North Carolina, bringing her peach farming expertise and a determination to start over. She has her plan mapped out: settle in, apply for the rural county grant, build her new life. She didn't plan on clashing with the furious, attractive local farmer who seems to hate her presence. Colt finds himself drawn to the newcomer despite his anger. When circumstances force them to work together, both discover their carefully laid plans shifting. The peach orchards aren't the only things ready to bloom in Whynot.
