Molly Harris hasn’t taken a real breath since her grandmother died – so when her Manhattan boss forces her onto a month-long sabbatical, she does the one thing she’s been avoiding for a year: she flies to Ireland to keep a promise.
All she has to do is reach the ancient oak in Golden Valley – the place her nan loved most – and complete one final goodbye.
Instead, Molly arrives to rain, cobblestones, and an apple-cart collision that puts her squarely in the path of Jack Flynn: Goldenridge Orchard’s fiercely protective owner, local legend, and the grumpy kind of handsome that makes a girl forget her jet lag.
Jack has corporate buyers sniffing around his land, and he doesn’t trust outsiders – especially not a polished New Yorker with a laptop and too many questions.
But Golden Valley has a way of pulling people into its orbit.
Between festival planning, fresh bread, and a village that treats curiosity like a sport, Molly finds herself helping Jack fight for the orchard’s future … while falling for the man who refuses to fall for anyone.
Keeping her promise means telling the truth. And the truth might cost her everything she’s beginning to love.
