Fantasy

A woman reunites with her first love to the solve the mystery of the strange occurrences plaguing her family's pear orchard-only to discover the land holds more magic than she thought-in this enchanting romance from the author of Racing Hearts.

Ali Reid has luck so bad she might actually be cursed. The pear orchard she inherited from her late uncle is drowning in debt, her fiance and best friend have left her, and now, with picking season looming, she has no way to harvest all her fruit before it rots on the branch.

Desperate, Ali turns to Logan Wright-the town's stoic carpenter, her first kiss, and the one she left behind. Now, fourteen years later, Logan agrees to move into her farmhouse to help, wearing plaid and a steady gaze, even though the land holds memories he's not keen to revisit.

As they work side by side, Ali's feelings for Logan come rushing back, and the orchard's troubles turn increasingly bizarre. Unnatural storms rage overhead. Jewel-toned rabbits take shelter in the barn. And, worst of all, the pears are crystallizing on their branches, like some kind of fairytale gone wrong.

The deeper they dig into these mysteries, the more Ali and Logan begin to suspect the land actually does carry a curse, one that's persisted over generations and touches any visitor who lingers too long. And now, with the magic stirring once again, Ali must uncover the orchard's secrets before she loses the one she loves all over again.
