When Autumn Calls

<p>When Claire Weston inherits her grandmother's farm just weeks before harvest she arrives with little more than uncertainty in her heart. The city life she left behind is still calling but so are the wide fields the old farmhouse walls and the neighbors who gather around her with kindness. Most of all so is Ethan Miller the steadfast farmhand who has carried both the land and his own quiet grief for years.</p><p>Through long days of backbreaking work lantern-lit evenings in the orchard and storms that test both the farm and her resolve Claire begins to find her place among the rows and fences. What started as a duty becomes a choice and what began as companionship becomes something deeper; love steady as the soil beneath her boots.</p><p>But when the last row is harvested and winter settles in Claire must decide: is the farm her true home or just a season borrowed from another life? And if she stays will Ethan's guarded heart open enough to let her in?</p><p> </p>
