Jack has corporate buyers sniffing around his land, and he doesn’t trust outsiders – especially not a polished New Yorker with a laptop and too many questions.But Golden Valley has a way of pulling people into its orbit. Between festival planning, fresh bread, and a village that treats curiosity like a sport, Molly finds herself helping Jack fight for the orchard’s future … while falling for the man who refuses to fall for anyone.Keeping her promise means telling the truth. And the truth might cost her everything she’s beginning to love.Welcome to Golden Valley – where roots run deep, and so can love.
