No one knows more about peaches than master orchardist Tina Obermacher. The only thing she lacks is time to cultivate a personal life. When the ladies of Sanctuary invite her for regular coffee and conversation, Tina jumps at the chance for some much-needed girl time--and the opportunity to cross paths with the hunk of laid-back hotness they call "Doc." Cole Watson has found a comfortable niche in the northern PA mountains, helping fellow former servicemen and women transition back to civilian life. He's not looking for a relationship, at least not until he meets Tina. Her womanly curves and intelligent eyes give the former SEAL a new mission: make her his. It's complicated, though. Not only do Tina's brothers vehemently oppose Sanctuary, they're into something far shadier than the family orchards, and Doc can't warn Tina without jeopardizing years of undercover work. The best he can do is be there to catch her when everything crumbles. The question is, once she learns the truth, will she let him?
