The last place Andrew (Drew) Morgan wants to be is back on the family avocado farm in Plentiful. If he had his way, he’d still be active military and deployed someplace far, far away. Unfortunately, he rarely gets what he wants. And, being back in the orchard is just the latest in a long list of disappointments. Single mother, Chloe Taylor has relocated from Fresno to the rural area of Plentiful, California to build her marketing business beginning with the local agriculture co-op. It’s her job to convince the local farms to invest in a major overhaul of the co-op’s publicity campaign. A mixture of modern operations, and older, family-owned farms, only adds to her frustration. At the moment, her biggest challenge is bringing the owner of Plenty Good Farms in line with the others. The fact that the old curmudgeon of an owner, Samuel Morgan, has brought his nephew in to run things gives her hope. Surely, the younger Morgan will be more amiable to her progressive ideas. When Chloe first presents her plan the Morgan men, it’s Drew who throws a monkey wrench into his uncle’s agreement to sign the necessary contract. What she doesn’t realize is that Drew’s reluctance has more to do with his uncle’s health issues, and the possibility that he won’t be able to talk the man who raised him into retiring. When Drew is forced by the military medical team into choosing between a desk job or retirement, he shares his frustrations with Chloe and she helps him find a new purpose—outside of being a full-timer farmer. It also helps that their attraction is growing. Drew has definitely fallen for the independent woman, and her adorable daughter. Will Chloe’s faith and determination help her lead Drew through his difficult decisions and bring them what they both need... a love that transcends their everyday challenges.

Tori Bevan grew up listening to her grandmother's mantra as she tirelessly competed against her arch-nemesis, Ben Holden, in the annual Clarksville Pear Festival pie competition. Despite Grandma Bevan's best efforts, the blue ribbon has eluded her for more years than she wants to admit, always falling into the hands of the Holden family. But this year, Tori is determined to change the outcome and win the prize once and for all. Dane Holden fled his small hometown and his grandparents' pear farm with no intention of looking back. But when his business ventures flop, leaving him jobless and homeless, he has no choice but to return for the annual festival at the request of his grandfather.

But just as things heat up between the two, Dane's past comes back to haunt him, threatening to destroy everything Tori has worked towards. Will the Bevan family finally claim victory and reign supreme at the festival? Or will the Holden dynasty continue its reign and hold onto the coveted blue ribbon once more? \*Check out the rest of the books in the Four Seasons Series by London James: Daytona Do-Over (Summer) Finding Love in the Hay Bale Maze (Autumn) Evergreen Inn (Winter)
