Determined to hold on to the eighty-acres, the grandfather and Lauren work tirelessly toward her goal of turning the place into a Heritage Seed farm. Teaching Organic Gardening and attending classes plus keeping her daughter's needs top priority makes for a busy single-mom lifestyle. Lauren has no time for the man who looks good in shorts and a tee, and even hotter in the black suit he wears for HN Seeds business...the very same company trying to buy their family farm.Determined to escape the confines of not only family but also the family business HN Seeds, Miles spent the past years on anything from planting trees in a wild fire site to enjoying a sandy beach complete with dive bar and drinks with friends. When his father asks him to come home to help with HN Seeds, Miles complies hoping his dad has mellowed. Instead his father puts Miles in charge of acquiring small family farms in the area and enrolls him for the Organic Gardening class at the local college.Lauren and Miles soon find themselves way past friendship. And, Emma feels right at home with his nieces and nephews. Yet, the couple's individual family commitments could be the barrier that leads to happiness. Can Miles figure a win-win for all the landowners? Will Lauren find it in her heart to take a chance and accept his apology? Maybe, all it takes is one tenacious real estate agent to help everything fall into place.
