When a tragedy leaves June responsible for her young niece and nephew, she whisks them away from San Francisco to her struggling family farm in rural Georgia—the only home she knows to offer them. Enter their uncle, a wealthy and infuriatingly confident investor who's convinced June is after money and determined to reclaim the kids himself, armed with a checkbook and unwavering certainty that he knows what's best. What unfolds is a delicious clash of wills between two people who can't stand each other, yet can't seem to stop thinking about one another. This is a heartwarming story about found family, second chances, and discovering that sometimes the person who drives you absolutely crazy is exactly who you need.
