The Spring Cut: A Sweet Small-Town Second Chance Romance with Tulips, Letters, and a Goose Named Walter (Roots & Romance Book 0)

Description

Maeve Miller is forty-four, lives in Portland, and is five weeks from the promotion she’s worked for since she was twenty-six. Then her grandmother dies and leaves her a fourteen-acre tulip farm in Mossbank, Oregon, with one condition: host the forty-second annual Easter Festival, or the farm goes to auction.

Twenty-one days. A hundred thousand tulips buried under two months of weeds. A tractor she can’t drive. And five geese who consider her arrival a security breach.

Luke Detweiler farms hazelnuts on the other side of the fence. He’s been fixing Ruth’s equipment for twenty years, feeding her geese since January, and watering her greenhouse cuttings every morning without being asked. He shows up at seven with a fuel filter, coffee, and no explanation for why he’s still here after she left twenty-two years ago.

The field needs six hundred hours of work. Maeve has a glue gun and a hostile goose named Walter. The math is not in her favor.

As the rows clear and the tulips push through, Ruth’s voice reaches from beyond two hidden letters, one question Maeve has spent twenty-two years not answering, and a truth about spring she’s been avoiding since she was seven years old.

The Spring Cut is a Roots & Romance novel: warm, witty, sweet and clean, with a love story that’s been twenty-two years in the making and a grandmother who planned the whole thing from her greenhouse chair.
