Publisher Description
Fed up and burnt-out, a woman leaves the city to take on the challenge of owning a sunflower farm but finds that her biggest trial is facing her first love in this charming second-chance romance by USA Today bestselling author Danica Nava.
Drained by her high-pressure tech job, June Walker finds an escape in homesteading videos and the fantasy of a quieter life. When she finally hits her breaking point, she does the only reasonable thing: She quits her job and buys a crumbling sunflower farm in rural Oklahoma, where she grew up.
June thought her biggest challenge in restoring Sunshine Farm would be the rotting fences but soon comes to the crushing realization that “positive vibes” are not a business plan. Nothing, however, tests her resolve quite like running into her first love, the boy she left behind after her world imploded when she was seventeen. She’s back for a fresh start, not to unpack old heartbreaks.
Noah Abbott never left Love County. Between his family, his job with the local fire brigade, and a town that knows him inside and out, he has everything he needs—except answers. So when June Walker returns as the new owner of Sunshine Farm, Noah is determined to find out why the girl who once meant everything to him vanished without a word.
As old wounds crack open and attraction flares back to life, June and Noah are forced to reckon with their past and decide whether first love is a memory best left buried or the one thing worth replanting.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Sometimes the best way to start over is to return to where you began. In this warmhearted and delightfully steamy romance, burned-out tech worker June Walker quits her San Francisco job and impulsively buys a run-down sunflower farm in her Oklahoma hometown. But restoring her Chickasaw family’s former property proves considerably harder than the homesteading videos made it look. And then there’s Noah Abbott, the handsome firefighter who was June’s childhood best friend and first love—until a family tragedy sent her running from everything she’d ever known. Noah is thrilled to have her back, but June isn’t nearly as eager to reopen old wounds, even as their familiar teasing gives way to some serious sparks. Danica Nava fills this charming small-town romance with lovable characters, baby farm animals, and plenty of humour, while giving June’s struggles with grief and anxiety genuine emotional weight. Sunflower Season is a sweet, sexy reminder that putting down roots sometimes means learning to trust the people who knew you before you grew up.
