The Garden Gate. Romance is here, #9

Sophie Lane only planned to spend a week in Willow Creek. As a city journalist, she came to cover the town's beloved community gardens-a light story before returning to deadlines and deadlines. But when she meets Daniel Hart, the quiet gardener who tends the blooms with patient devotion, Sophie discovers more than just roses hidden behind the garden walls. Together, they uncover an overgrown gate leading to a forgotten part of the gardens-once Daniel's grandmother's pride.
As Sophie and Daniel restore it, they find themselves unearthing something deeper: hope, healing, and the beginnings of love. But Sophie's editor demands drama for her story, and Daniel fears she'll leave just like everyone else. When a storm threatens to undo their hard work, Sophie must decide-return to the city life she thought she wanted, or take a chance on the roots she's found in Willow Creek.
In a town where every bloom tells a story, Sophie and Daniel may just discover that love, like a garden, grows best when nurtured with patience.
