She's risked everything on a harvest that won't wait. He's the critic who could destroy her dream before the first strawberry ripens.

Callie Harper has spent six years transforming Sweet Berry Farm from overgrown weeds into her livelihood. Now she's staked her future on an audacious plan: a Strawberry Fair that will put Serendipity Springs back on the map.

James Thornfield is a burned-out food critic escaping to his aunt's mountain cottage to remember why he once loved what he does. The last person he expects to find in this quiet town is Callie Harper—the passionate farmer he dismissed as a naive idealist two years ago at a conference he'd rather forget.

When the whole town rallies behind Callie's vision, James sees a story his editor will love: small-town dreams colliding with economic reality. But the more time he spends at Sweet Berry Farm—watching Callie work from dawn to dusk, tasting strawberries that explode with impossible sweetness, and discovering that the woman he thought he knew might be far stronger than he gave her credit for—the harder it becomes to write the cynical review he came here to craft.

A heartwarming second-chance romance about letting go of cynicism, learning to trust again, and discovering that coming home isn't about finding where you're from—it's about finding where you belong.

Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Susan Mallery, and stories that prove love and strawberries are both worth the wait.
