Anna loves her organic farm but it is quickly sinking in debt. Then Del makes matters worse by overspraying a chemical on her field. Del's a newcomer to the Annapolis Valley so he doesn't understand the undercurrent of hostility among the local folks whenever Anna's name is mentioned.
Anna MacFrail loves her organic farm in Eastern Canada, but despite her best efforts, it is quickly sinking into impossible debt. She bought the farm with a large chunk of her inheritance money a few years back when she and her fiancé David had grand plans for the future. But the wedding never happened and Anna was stuck with a money pit. She's determined, though, to make the farm a success and sticks by her guns to keep it organic.
Then her neighbor, Del VanOrthrum makes matters worse by accidentally over-spraying a chemical on her field. Del's a good man who has just come home from his big-city job to help his father. He wants to make it up to Anna, but whenever he tries, she gets prickly and unapproachable.
One by one, Anna's defenses crumble before Del's determined courtship. She loves him desperately, but she can't believe he will stand by her when he realizes why the townspeople gossip behind her back.
Excerpt
Anna MacFrail felt something was wrong the moment she opened her kitchen door. She stood on the back porch with her hands braced on the railing, her eyes scouring the property. The farmhouse sat at the foot of a slope so she could see most of the back acres and the lines of succulent young plants growing there. She turned left toward the huge barn and had to shade her eyes from the early morning sun glaring off its expanse of white wall. Everything looked normal.

Romance Junkies - Teresa Henson
Ms. Turner’s story is an enthralling tale of deceit, betrayal, and hardships on one side, and fortitude, ambition and love on the other. Anna’s character appears to be cold and harsh at first, but in all actuality, she is scared and soft-hearted. Del is wonderfully masculine and gentle at the same time. Both characters would be good role models to mold oneself after.
