Among the Wildflowers - Greyfin Bay, #2

Owning a farm is Emerson King's lifelong dream come true—even if achieving it has cost him his marriage.

Now, a year after his divorce, Short King Farms is in dire financial straits. One bright spot on the horizon? Money from his friends Ben and Alexei, who are renting out the farm for their wedding. But even that might be in jeopardy: the farm is a mess, not at all ready for a hundred person wedding. Emerson needs help, desperately—if only he could afford it.

Luca Yaeger has spent his life as a fisherman with only one problem: he's never actually wanted to be one. What he truly wants to do is write, but all that's brought him is pain. When he receives his hundredth rejection for his novel, he decides it's time to give up the ghost for good. After, of course, he heads to the local brewery for a small pity party first.

There he finds a sad farmer—and an opportunity for a new life.

In exchange for room and board, Luca offers to work at Short King Farms for free so Emerson can better prepare for the wedding. The farm is beautiful, the fresh start Luca has been looking for—even if his growing feelings for his new boss are useless, being that Emerson is definitely still in love with his ex.

But when it comes to all the stress Emerson is still under—maybe Luca could help with that in other ways, too…

As the wedding approaches, Luca and Emerson grow more and more attached. But when the past comes calling, they must decide what the future holds—for the farm and for themselves—after the final wedding bells toll.

Among the Wildflowers is a gentle gay small-town romance that explores the costs and rewards of following our dreams, and the messiness in expanding our expectations of love.
