I came back to sell a pumpkin farm, not fall for my family’s rival grump neighbor who thinks he owns the whole town. One second I’m dodging mud puddles in heels that cost more than my car. Then next, I’m face-first in a chicken chase… and colliding with Garrett Parker. He’s the local pumpkin king—stoic, bossy, and about as warm as a scarecrow. I’m the “city visitor” who apparently doesn’t belong here. So naturally, thanks to one tiny committee screw-up, we’re forced to co-run the Harvest Festival. Together. Every. Single. Day. I’m out of my league with hayrides and pumpkin blight, but Garrett’s little girl keeps tugging me in, and suddenly I’m seeing cracks in his armor. He’s still stubborn, still maddening, but under all that gruffness is a man who makes me laugh when I least expect it… and makes my heart ache when I shouldn’t. Somewhere between the rivalry and the harvest moon, I’ve fallen for him. But the city is still calling. And if I leave, I don’t just lose the farm. I lose him too.
