From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a heartwarming Kentbury novella about second chances, healing, and love that grows in the most unexpected places—just in time for harvest season.
I came to Kentbury to recover.
A heart attack has a way of forcing you to slow down, even if you're not ready.
My family insisted I take a break from my relentless life in Boston, dragging me to this small town where the only thing on my to-do list is co-chairing the Pumpkin Festival.
Simple, right?
Then I meet Meadow—an artist with fiery red hair and a smile that feels like sunlight after a long storm. She's juggling a gallery opening, family obligations, and town festivals, making it all look easy. But in her eyes is a woman who knows what it's like to carry too much.
What starts as awkward small-talk turns into long hours together, decorating pumpkins, and stealing glances. Suddenly, Kentbury feels less like a detour and more like a place I don't want to leave.
But life back in Boston waits for me, and it's only a matter of time before I have to go. The question is—can I walk away from the first thing that's made my heart feel whole in a long time?
