#1 - Cozy Girl Fall

Can she rekindle the love she left behind?

When Penny Larkin returns to her hometown of Magnolia Springs after 10 years in San Francisco, she’s determined not to get roped back into small town life. She’s there to help on her parents’ apple orchard during the busy harvest season and promises herself she’d be back to her life in the city by December.

But when Penny discovers that her childhood sweetheart Ethan Blake is also helping in the orchard – looking distractingly handsome in his flannel shirt and workman’s boots – she realises it might be harder to keep her promise to herself than she thought.

As Penny and Ethan spend every day of harvest season working side-by-side, it becomes clear that there’s still a spark flickering between them. And Penny can’t help but wonder if she might be falling for Ethan all over again…

#2 - Clean Girl Spring

You never know where love might bloom...

April Jones needs a fresh start. Leaving behind a broken engagement and a dead-end job in New York, she returns to her hometown of Magnolia Springs with a plan: she’ll renovate her late father’s struggling dive bar and turn it into a florist, just like she and her mom always dreamed of.

As spring flowers start to bloom, April throws herself into the project, relishing the slower pace of life and finally beginning to mend her broken heart. But then her childhood rival Luke, now a successful real-estate developer, shows up with plans to tear down half of Main Street, including April’s beloved florist.

April can’t believe that the fate of her business now rests in Luke’s annoyingly attractive hands, but she isn’t ready to give up on her fresh start just yet. If only April could find a way to make Luke set aside is hard hat and follow his heart . . .
