Former free spirit Zoe Collins swore she’d never
again set foot in Copper Creek or speak to the man who broke
her heart. But return she must when her beloved Granny dies,
leaving the family legacy to Zoe—a peach orchard nestled at
the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
When Zoe returns home with her daughter and boyfriend Kyle,
she finds that she’s the only person in town who doesn’t
expect her to give up the life she’s established far away
from Copper Creek. Everyone believes she was born to run the
orchard, but how can she make it her home after so many years?
Cruz Huntley never quite got over his first love, Zoe
Collins, the little sister of his best friend Brady. Not
when she cheated on him during their “break,” not when she
took off to parts unknown with good-for-nothing Kyle
Jenkins, and not even now—five years later.
As life-changing decisions and a history with Cruz hang over
Zoe’s head, tensions rise between her and Kyle. Even as she
comes to terms with the shifting relationships in her life,
Zoe still isn’t sure if she can remain in Copper Creek with
her new responsibilities . . . and her first love.
