Kinsey Pennington never planned to take on the family farm alone, but duty doesn’t wait for perfect timing. With a broken-down truck, a failing water heater, and his brothers scattered between odd jobs and burnout, Kinsey’s barely keeping things afloat. Until a chance encounter with a precocious little girl at the bank kicks off a chain of events that changes everything—including his future.

​

Meggie Gold doesn’t do small towns, and she certainly doesn’t do farmers. But when rumors of a shady land deal reach her office, she heads to rural Ohio to protect her grandmother’s promise—and runs straight into Kinsey. What starts as business quickly turns personal, and Meggie finds herself drawn to the quiet strength behind Kinsey’s stubborn pride.

​

As secrets surface and futures hang in the balance, Kinsey and Meggie must decide if love can grow where roots run deep—or if it’s time to let go and start again.

​

Heartfelt, witty, and full of slow-burn charm, Kinsey is a story of love, legacy, and the courage to choose your own path.
