The Maple Princess — Susan Kirby

When Julie Logan's father dies, she feels it's up to her to run the family maple-syrup camp. Everyone advises her against it, including Stanley Wiery, who adores her. But Julie must collect the syrup this winter or she won't be able to make the final payment on the land, as her father planned to to. Although someone is clearly trying to sabotage her, Julie keeps the syrup operation going. She knows several people want to get their hands on the property. Still, she's sure she'll succeed, with the help of her teen-aged brother, her unique all-girl gathering crew, and handsome Jay Marshall, who has brought a new meaning to her life. Julie doesn't consider defeat for a minute--not until she suspects who her real enemy might be.
