Molly Harris hasnโt taken a real breath since her grandmother died โ so when her Manhattan boss forces her onto a month-long sabbatical, she does the one thing sheโs been avoiding for a year: she flies to Ireland to keep a promise. All she has to do is reach the ancient oak in Lough Glen โ the place her nan loved most โ 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 Orchardโs 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 doesnโt trust outsiders โ especially not a polished New Yorker with a laptop and too many questions.
But Lough Glen 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 orchardโs future โฆ 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 sheโs beginning to love.
Welcome to Lough Glen โ where roots run deep, and so can love.
