A Harvest Bargain with Her Rival Ebook

Merryn Holt can coax prizewinning vegetables from stubborn soil. Persuading society to value the woman who grows them is another matter. With her mother’s home threatened, the Ashcombe gardening competition offers one chance to secure their future—and Merryn intends to win.

Caleb Venn has spent nine years losing to her and far longer than he cares to admit noticing her. The quiet farmer knows drains, debts and difficult horses. He has considerably less experience with the fierce young woman who considers his very presence an insult.

When sabotage leaves both their gardens in ruins, Merryn and Caleb must become partners. Between midnight rescues, a disastrous quadrille and an infuriatingly thoughtful gift of pie, rivalry begins to feel dangerously like love.

But their shared entry can save only one home. Caleb is keeping a secret, a calculating steward has plans of his own, and Merryn must decide how much of herself she is willing to risk. Winning will require more than perfect celery. Trusting the man beside her may demand the courage to be heard.
