Orchard of Lost Things

Bea Aldridge has one season left before the bank takes her mother's orchard. The man who bought the mortgage is Hollis West — a billionaire who needs the water rights under her trees and doesn't belong on a farm. He doesn't know she remembers him. She remembers everything. Then the wildfire smoke moves in, the roads close, and Hollis is stuck at the farmhouse with a woman who will not say his name. Nine days. One harvest. One barn apartment Hollis has no business asking to rent. She's about to lose the only home she's ever had. He's about to find the one he ran away from twenty years ago. Some things you plant knowing you'll never stand in their shade.
