A BRAND NEW heartwarming feel-good romance from the bestselling author of Love and Lattes at Pumpkin Hollow. Perfect for fans of Laurie Gilmore, Elsie Silver and Lucy Score

Strawberries and second chances...

It's the last place Daisy Connor expects to spend her wedding day, but after ditching her fianc at the altar, she s fled to Birch Tree Farm for some much-needed thinking room. Her cousin Willow's farmhouse is the last place Daisy truly remembers being happy and herself.

Blake Daniels is nursing his own broken heart after discovering his girlfriend s betrayal, and he s retreated to the same quiet farm for solitude, hoping to figure out his next move.

With the strawberry pick-your-own season upcoming, there's no shortage of things to do to keep their anxious minds distracted and if the success of Willow's pumpkin patch is anything to go by, there'll be plenty of visitors coming expecting something magical.

The last people Daisy and Blake expect to see are their exes, turning up uninvited, demanding answers. It's a split-second decision, but it seems to make sense at the time: if Daisy and Blake fake a relationship, it'll get the two of them off their backs. But what starts as a harmless cover story soon gets complicated. And as sparks fly, lines begin to blur. Is this just pretend, or could something real be growing between them?

If you love small-town charm, slow-burn chemistry and second chances, then this heartwarming story is for you!
