1. Let’s Give ‘Em Pumpkin To Talk About

She’s a little edgy. He’s a lot of sunshine.

Textile artist Sadie Fox did not sign up for this. When she agreed to come home, it was to care for her father’s beloved pumpkin patch. The deal was that just for the summer, she would grow a ginormous pumpkin, win the Indiana State Fair’s pumpkin competition and finally win back her father’s (grudging) respect.

Instead, a horde of wild hogs destroyed the entire patch. Which is precisely when the annoyingly sexy, sunshiny next-door neighbour shows up.

Josh Thatcher is a tech millionaire who traded in the office for growing vegetables. And for the life of her, Sadie can’t understand what he sees in her sweary, tattooed, prickly self. But a storm-fuelled kiss proves there’s definitely something growing between them. And whatever it is, it’s already bigger than Sadie’s fast-growing pumpkin…or the secret that Josh has been hiding.

Love is the best harvest…
