Publisher Description
For lovers of happily ever afters—this collection of three light and sweet romance stories will sweep you off your feet.
In A Summer Detour by Denise Hunter, you’ll meet free-spirited Allie Adams, who undertakes a road trip to deliver her grandparents’ newly restored ’57 Chevy in time for their fiftieth anniversary party . . . along with Luke Fletcher, the former boy-next-door who callously crushed her heart.
Pining for You by Melissa Ferguson invites you to a cozy Virginia mountain town where Christmas tree farm owner Theo Watkins III has the opportunity to drop everything for one weekend to play farmer and potentially win back the heart of his childhood best friend, Skye Fuller. Only problem? He’s the kind of man who drives a Tesla, not a tractor.
Last but not least, He Loves Me; He Loves Me Not by Kathleen Fuller will transport you to a small town in Arkansas where thirty-five-year-old Sophie Morgan has spent years making her flower shop a success. But when this workaholic decides she’s ready to make time for dating again, she finds herself with two handsome men vying for her attention.
Whether your perfect romance involves rows and rows of Fraser firs and white pines glinting in the moonlight, childhood love that never ends, or a second chance at a happily ever after, you’re sure to find a story within this collection to warm your heart any day of the year.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hunter (Autumn Skies), Ferguson (The Cul-de-Sac War), and Fuller (The Farmer's Bride) deliver enjoyable novellas that showcase love in unexpected circumstances. In Hunter's "A Summer Detour," Allie Adams offers to drive her grandparents' newly restored 1957 Chevy to their home as a surprise gift for their 50th wedding anniversary. However, after realizing that she is unable to operate the manual transmission, she is left with little choice but to ask her ex-boyfriend Luke for assistance. Forced together, they confess their mistakes and admit they never stopped loving each other. In Ferguson's "Pining for You," Theo Watkins, the wealthy owner of Evergreen Farms, runs into his ex-girlfriend, Skye, at the home of her father, the farm's caretaker, after 14 years apart. As Skye struggles to cover her father's debts, Theo realizes love is more important than money and they rekindle their relationship. In Fuller's delightful "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not," Sophie, a 35-year-old single florist, is afraid of being hurt by love and determined not to date handsome, divorced high school teacher Joe. After a date with a vapid lawyer, Sophie faces her fears of commitment and plunges in deep with Joe. Joe, meanwhile, must overcome a heartbreak to find a second chance at love. These soothing romances nicely capture the giddy feelings of new love.
