Burnt out from catering to impossible Hollywood elites, Roxie trades her fancy knives for her family's struggling diner back in upstate New York—a temporary pit stop, or so she tells herself. Enter Leo, a charming organic farmer with a slow-food philosophy and an even slower way of making Roxie reconsider her five-year plan. As summer unfolds through lazy fireflies and farmers market flirtations, Roxie discovers that sometimes the most nourishing things in life are the ones you never expected to crave. Perfect for readers who love a grounded, sensual slow burn with genuine small-town warmth.

“Create a playlist called Nuts. Capture warm summer nights in a small town—indie folk and soft pop with a gentle, romantic pull. Think acoustic guitars, breezy melodies, and that slow-burn chemistry of two people finding their way. Include artists like Bon Iver, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lord Huron. Cozy yet electric.”
