When Emma Callewah drives into Maple Wood, her car is packed with haphazard boxes and a heart bruised by city burnout and recent heartbreak. She only planned to stay until the winter chill set in-just long enough to help her mom recover and figure out her next move. Instead, she gets swept into saving the town's Harvest Festival alongside Luke Bennet, the local orchard owner whose steady presence and warm smile prove impossible to resist. Working together under the glow of autumn lanterns, Emma finds a second chance at passion, community, and love. But when her old life in the city comes calling with a second chance of its own, Emma is forced to choose between the future she always planned for-and the root-deep love waiting right in front of her.
