Farm Cove Bliss

She's relearning to trust. He's healing his heartache. Can Crystal and Derek fix the farmhouse and mend their fractured hearts?

Crystal Whitman is determined to redefine herself. Pulling double shifts to break free from a cheating ex, the single mom worries her life can't get any more chaotic until her own mother dies. The city gal returns to her painfully rural hometown, hoping to flip her vacant ancestral farmhouse fast, but she never expected her hunky hired hand would make her want to slow down and enjoy the view.

Derek Fischer can't shake his grief. Twelve years after losing his wife, the devoted dad's broken heart beats only for his daughter, until the sexy school teacher at the abandoned farmhouse sparks a different kind of love. But with a dying home improvement business to keep afloat, the contractor fears muddling the line between business and pleasure could only end in financial ruin.

When Crystal hires Derek to fix the old farmhouse, so she can sell it and return to her frenzied life, she moves in for the summer to save some money and give him a hand. Fighting their growing attraction, she wonders if she's destined to be alone, and he wonders if his wife will ever forgive him for moving on. When a vivacious blonde sinks her claws into Derek, Crystal relives her ex-husband's betrayal, and her reaction could sabotage their growing relationship.

Can these two shattered souls piece together their future and find a happily ever after?
