Summary:
Duped, cut-off, and dragged upstate, Avery Sterling arrives at her uncle’s apple orchard wearing nothing but a cocktail dress and a chip on her shoulder. Forced to surrender her posh plans, she’s determined to prove her father wrong and make the best of the summer, but that might be harder than she expected when she’s paired with a grumpy farmhand who wants nothing to do with her.
Returning for his fifth season, Jonah is desperate to lose himself in arduous labor, hoping it will keep the memories at bay. Responsible for training the new hire, he has no interest in getting to know her, especially after their first encounter stirs emotions he thought were good and buried.
