She's the desperate CEO hired to rebrand a sleepy Southern orchard. He's the stubborn heir determined to see her fail. All's fair in love and farming.

I fix things. It's what I do.

When I'm hired to fix what's broken at Sugar Maple Farms, I see an even bigger project in the form of its surly, six-foot-five owner, Tripp Carville.

Tripp may be a thorn in my side, but lucky for him, I can see beyond his impressive, prickly front to the wounded boy underneath. And I know exactly how to fix him: I'm going to make him fall back in love with Sugar Maple Farms.

Now if I can just keep myself from falling in love with him in the process.

I've never been enough for the people around me—not for my parents before they died, and not for the tough grandfather who raised me. When he unexpectedly passes, leaving me the famous (and failing) Sugar Maple Farms, all I want is to sell so I can leave the weight of being a Carville behind.

Until Jane shows up. The woman is smart, salty, and sexy as they come. I can't admit it, but her vision for Sugar Maple Farms is captivating. Everything about her is captivating. We may argue all day, but I think about her all night.

I'm damaged beyond repair, and after never being enough for the people in my life, if I can't be enough for Jane, I don't think I'll ever recover.

So I can't let Jane in. No matter how badly I want to.

Strawberry Fields for Never is a swoony closed-door rom-com full of delicious banter and crackling chemistry but no explicit scenes. It's the first in a series of standalone novels featuring five best friends.
