Farm to Fabre — Dahlia Donovan

When Andriana Milne-Marchetti kisses an old family friend under an apple tree, she never imagines he'll run halfway around the world and stay gone for three years. Thirty-five-year-old asexual Andie runs a small remote family farm in Scotland. She's happy with her fruit trees and berries. Her Airedale terrier, Rupert, provides all the companionship she needs. But her heart longs for one man, who probably never felt more than friendship for her. Silver fox Docherty Fabre returns home to Scotland, hoping to break through a year-long battle with writer's block. He's taking up residence in a tiny cottage on the Milne-Marchetti farm. Now, if he can avoid embarrassing himself for a second time in front of Andie, everything will be fine. Their second chance at romance comes from a year-long lockdown that prevents them from running away from their feelings. With no one else around, can they find love in the orchard one more time?
