Apple Cider Kisses (Sweet Creek #1)

A bubbly teacher. A brooding brewer. One fall festival to change everything.

When bubbly schoolteacher Harper Donnelly trades big-city traffic for the tranquil charm of Sweet Creek, North Carolina, she’s ready to live out her Hallmark-worthy dream—flannel, fall festivals, and friendly neighbors included.

But when the town’s beloved Apple Butter Jubilee is canceled after losing its sponsor, Harper makes it her mission to save the tradition. Trouble is, she’ll need help from the town’s grumpiest Gideon Graham, the brooding brewer nursing a broken heart after his ex walked away with his trust.

He’s sworn off big-city dreamers. She’s chasing the small-town magic she’s always longed for. Sparks fly when they’re forced to team up—but can cider, compromise, and a little pumpkin spice heal old wounds—and turn Harper’s small-town dream into a happily-ever-after?
