"He's looking for a quiet space...she's not looking for a relationship." From stranger—to neighbor ...to forever? Reese Lockhart finds herself trudging through a life scarred by past rejection and family disconnect. Tending her backyard garden helps—if the carrots and zucchini can grow from a hard little seed, so can she. If she can just keep her head down and her hands busy—she’ll be okay, right? Then a Southern charmer moves in next door, triggering more painful memories of loss. Elliot Jacobson thinks all he wants is a quiet space to work, but the cautious gardener next door keeps distracting him. There’s a story she’s not sharing, which just fascinates him more. Seeds of friendship blossom into a fun-loving romance, but family drama and devastating news threaten to pull them apart.
