But Penny didn’t expect to find her childhood sweetheart, Ethan, working at the orchard, too.She can't quite believe that the boy she left behind to chase her dreams has grown into a man who is even more handsome than she remembers.

Now, Penny is facing a choice: return to the life she built for herself in the city or stay with the man who still feels like home.
