Blue Ridge Sunrise

Former free spirit Zoe Collins swore she''d never again set foot in Copper Creek or speak to the man who broke her heart. But return she must when she inherits a peach orchard nestled at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

When Zoe returns home with her young daughter and boyfriend Kyle, she finds that she''s the only person in town who doesn''t expect her to give up the life she''s established far away from Copper Creek. Everyone believes she was born to run the orchard, but how can she make it her home after so many years?

Cruz Huntley never quite got over his first love, Zoe Collins, the little sister of his best friend Brady. Not when she cheated on him during their "break," not when she took off to parts unknown with good-for-nothing Kyle Jenkins, and not even now—five years later.

As life-changing decisions and a history with Cruz hang over Zoe''s head, tensions rise between her and Kyle. Even as she comes to terms with the shifting relationships in her life, Zoe still isn''t sure if she can remain in Copper Creek with her new responsibilities . . . and her first love.
