In the third Honeycrisp Orchard romance, Charlotte has finally moved on from her seven-year crush on the brooding barnhand who works at her parents’ apple orchard. But when she starts dating someone new, and ends up working side-by-side with both men during the orchard’s Harvest Festival, the one who never seemed to want her suddenly can’t stay away.

Charlotte Parker has spent years trying not to stare at Sawyer Bennett’s very fine barn-raising biceps. And failing. But now that she’s 25, officially over him (ahem), and happily dating someone new—sweet, stable Miller, the inn’s linens vendor—it’s time to let go of teenage fantasies about the animal handler who never looked twice at her.

Except, of course, this is the exact moment Sawyer starts looking. Really looking. When Charlotte finally gets the chance to plan the orchard’s biggest event of the year—the Autumn Harvest Festival—she agrees…until she learns both Miller and Sawyer are volunteering. Which means all three of them are now planning hayrides, navigating corn mazes, and wrangling festival animals together every day in close, cider-scented proximity.

Sawyer has always kept his distance for a reason—she was his boss’s daughter, too young, too off-limits, too everything. But now? He can’t stop thinking about what he might have missed. And the more time he spends with Charlotte, the more impossible it is to pretend he doesn’t want her.

Charlotte doesn’t know what Sawyer’s game is—or why now, after all this time, he’s finally seeing her. If he wants a chance to win the heart of the woman he once overlooked, he's going to have to earn it

Will Charlotte and Sawyer make it through the Harvest Festival with their hearts intact?
