"Ellie Lawson's city life was treating her just fine until a sour turn of events knocks her out in one fell swoop. Dumped by her boyfriend and fired from her event planning job, she is left with no choice but to return to her parents' idyllic inn, nestled within a picturesque Honeycrisp orchard on Long Island. Anticipating a quiet hiatus in the attic apartment, she is instead met with Aiden, the stubborn, attractive son of the orchard owner who is currently occupying her planned refuge. Forced together by circumstance, they find themselves not only roommates but also coworkers, when they're put in charge by their parents of the orchard's vital Harvest Festival, a lifeline for both the struggling orchard and the inn.... Amidst the enchanting disorder of small-town life, Ellie and Aiden grapple with their conflicting values, burgeoning feelings, and an electrifying tension. As Ellie discovers the unexpected charm of the life she left behind and Aiden learns there's much more to Ellie than he'd first assumed, one fact remains: the future of the orchard and the inn depends on their unlikely collaboration. Embark on a captivating journey of rediscovery, love, and the irreplaceable magic of small-town life." --

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Bowman (Hiring Mr. Darcy) gets a new series off to an enchanting start in this pitch-perfect contemporary. After event planner Ellie Lawson's boyfriend dumps her and her boss fires her from her prestigious Manhattan firm, she returns to her Long Island hometown to help her parents' Honeycrisp Orchard Inn prepare for the upcoming harvest festival. Ellie is surprised when she's forced to share the inn's two-bed attic apartment with Aiden Paker, the son of the nearby orchard's owner whom she hasn't seen since they were kids. Though the mutual attraction between them is instant, the pair initially clash over festival planning. As Ellie adapts to small-town life, however, she and Aiden come together to ensure their parents' financial success--and share some steamy stolen kisses in the process. But when Ellie gets a job opportunity back in the city, she must carefully weigh her priorities. The cozy autumnal setting provides an idyllic backdrop for the sweet yet sensual romance between former childhood friends. Readers will be thoroughly charmed. Agent: Kevan Lyon, Marsal Lyon Literary.
