Rosie left her Seattle life behind for a second chance at the childhood summers she loved: running her uncle Walt's farm in Alder Creek. She's optimistic, determined, and only slightly panicking now that Walt's off chasing late-in-life romance and she's realizing she retained maybe half his instructions.

Cal is the overworked veterinarian who keeps showing up when things go wrong. He's blunt, exhausted, and has no patience for her inexperience, but he also can't say no when Rosie needs help.

Somewhere between farm disasters and 2 a.m. chicken emergencies, something more than friendship takes root.

Settling Home, the fourth and final book in the Alder Creek series, comes out spring 2026.
