Apple-y Ever After
(2026)(The first book in the Sweater Weather in Sycamore Falls series)
A Story by Shayla Sullivan
Orchard owner Wes Hartley has a simple life: his apple trees, his daughter, and a strict no-festivals policy.
Then his seven-year-old tells her entire second-grade class that he talks to his trees, and suddenly the new teacher is standing in his barn asking to borrow the orchard for a field trip. And a festival.
Enter Ellie Sinclair - relentlessly sunny, immune to the word no, and armed with cider donuts, permission slips, and his own daughter as a double agent. Wes watched someone leave for the city once. He's not doing it again.
She's determined to give her class the perfect fall festival. He's determined to keep his orchard (and his heart) off-limits. But a certain seven-year-old has already decided how this harvest ends... and she's never lost a negotiation in her life.
Tropes: Grumpy/Sunshine • Single Dad • Forced Proximity • Kid Plays Matchmaker • Small Town
The Dad's Club has survived tantrums, school fundraises, and bedtime negotiations. But falling in love might be the one thing they need backup for.
Genre: Romance
