Penguin Das Honeycrisp B&B

Love is like cider: sweet, sparkling, and sometimes surprisingly strong. Ellie Lawson, 29, an event planner, has a plan. Or rather: she had one. After a professional disaster and an even bigger romantic fiasco, she flees back to her hometown of Harvest Hollow. Her salvation: planning the Harvest Festival, because who better than her to breathe life back into the small town? Aiden, her childhood best friend – now grown up, hot, and sporting a six-pack – sees things differently. They used to be an unbeatable team, but today he’s not exactly thrilled about her return, and even less so about her modern festival ideas. When they are forced to share the attic apartment above the B&B, worlds collide: city meets country, Pinterest meets tradition, Ellie meets... feelings she thought she had long forgotten. Amidst bright apple trees, fragrant donuts, and a goat with tackling talent, sparks will soon fly, along with some heated exchanges. Included tropes: Cozy Romance, Childhood Best Friend, Forced Proximity, Golden Retriever (Boyfriend), Small Town.
