Fiction

Dan Faraday is too busy for love. With the long hours running the family orchard, he doesn't have time to date. If he did, he would be looking for someone that fits into his ten year plan. Someone traditional, reliable and dependable - someone like him. Someone the opposite of beautiful drifter Lucy Mariano. A free spirit who chases the moment rather than a paycheque, she's only in town for the cherry picking season. While she's tempted to see how cute Dan could be if only he smiled, she's not going to stick around to wait and see. But the cherry trees aren't the only things blossoming, and Lucy and Dan are increasingly drawn to one another. In spite of their differences, each begins to wonder if maybe they have a future after all. With the weight of Dan's family's legacy on his shoulders and Lucy afraid to lose the freedom and adventure of the open road, can Dan give Lucy a reason to put down roots before the seasons change?
