Wren Hollis missed her grandmother's funeral the same way she'd missed everything else in her life. So no one is more surprised than her when the will is read and the family farm-acres of lavender fields in the south of France-is left to Wren.
There's just one condition. She must stay through a full growing season or lose it forever.
He's furious she's here. She's furious he's right to be. Yet she can't stop noticing the way his hands know exactly what to do with the land she's supposed to be learning, or the way one unguarded look from him makes her legs go weak.
When Wren finds a stack of old journals and letters in a locked desk, she finds more than the memories of her grandmother's life. One page at a time, Wren starts to understand the woman her family taught her to resent-and why Adrien so fiercely protects the legacy of a dead woman. By the end of harvest, she'll have to decide what she's willing to give up. The land. The truth about her family.
Or the man who was never supposed to matter.
