Spring is blooming, but love coach Alyssa’s life decidedly isn’t. In one night, she finds herself dumped, homeless and on the cusp of losing her hard-won career – all of which she must hide from her loyal Instagram followers.

Desperate to claw back her career, Alyssa can’t turn down the opportunity to test a new matchmaking app – even though it goes against everything she believes in… and involves working with the man who was her first love.

Devan Shaw’s devastating betrayal has haunted Alyssa ever since she left her hometown to reinvent herself in London, but face to face, she’s distracted by their rekindled – and unwanted – chemistry.

With her career on the line, Alyssa vows to show Devan that she’s been living her best life without him. But can she resist the charms of Apple Blossom Lane, her hometown’s quirky residents and the one man she’s secretly been dreaming of?

Perfect for fans of:

🌸 Second chances at love

🌸 Swoon-worthy yearning

🌸 Misunderstandings

🌸 A sprinkling of spice
