In the golden fields of a Kentucky sunflower farm, big-city marketer Lila Harper rediscovers small-town roots and a second chance at love with her protective ex, Jake Bradford, as they fight developers threatening their shared legacy.
When Nashville marketing whiz Lila Harper gets the call from her grandmother Mae, she doesn’t hesitate to put her high-powered career on hold and go home. Mae’s sunflower farm in Fox Hollow, Kentucky, is under threat—from a recent health scare and relentless developers eyeing the land for subdivisions. But as she dives into the plans to save the farm, she realizes some roots run deeper than she remembered.
Next door, high school sweetheart and dairy farmer Jake Bradford has been quietly watching over Mae’s place for years. Lila’s return stirs up old sparks and older hurts; she broke his heart when she left for the city lights a decade ago. Now, with developers circling and Lila’s sabbatical ticking down, Jake’s protective instincts kick in. Working side by side, they rediscover the easy chemistry of their youth. But can Lila choose between the life she’s built in Nashville and the one calling her home?
In this heartwarming tale of second chances, Anna Poe weaves small-town charm, family bonds, and blooming romance into a story that reminds us: sometimes, love grows best where it’s planted.
