Molly Harris hasnโ€™t 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 sheโ€™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 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 Orchardโ€™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 doesnโ€™t 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 orchardโ€™s future โ€ฆ 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 sheโ€™s beginning to love.

Welcome to Lough Glen โ€“ where roots run deep, and so can love.
