Bees, Blogs and Blushes

She came to Whynot to uncover her mothers scandal and instantly disrupted the quiet life of the local man who prefers bees to people.

Travel blogger Reese Cartier lives for the rush of discovering the unknown. Shes survived missed flights, bad haircuts, and questionable hostels, but nothing could have prepared her for quirky, southern town of Whynot, North Carolina. Shes here for one reason… to untangle the truth about her late mothers mysterious past.

Her first clue? A dusty rented cottage on a secluded bee farm.
Her second clue? The infuriatingly handsome, maddeningly quiet beekeeper who owns it.

Eli Hart likes his life simple, which includes tending hives, bottling honey, and avoiding unnecessary conversation. Then sunshine-in-a-sundress Reese crash-lands on his property—literally—sending her drone into a tree over his bee boxes and his sanity straight into jeopardy.

Shes chaos. Hes calm.
She wants answers. He wants her to stop breaking things.

But when the too-curious tenant begins to chip away at her mothers long-buried secrets, a reluctant partnership is formed with Whynots hottest, most reclusive bachelor and becomes a full-blown adventure steeped in the towns secrets, gossip, and nosiest residents.

Somewhere between Reeses big questions, bigger ideas, and the way she keeps tripping into his quiet life… Eli realizes shes the most disruptive thing hes ever wanted.

A grumpy-sunshine romance full of small-town meddling, slow-burn heat, and one impossible beekeeper who learns that sometimes love buzzes in when you least expect it.
