She came to Whynot to uncover her mother’s 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. She’s survived missed flights, bad haircuts, and questionable hostels, but nothing could have prepared her for quirky, southern town of Whynot, North Carolina. She’s here for one reason… to untangle the truth about her late mother’s 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.
She’s chaos. He’s calm.
She wants answers. He wants her to stop breaking things.
But when the too-curious tenant begins to chip away at her mother’s long-buried secrets, a reluctant partnership is formed with Whynot’s hottest, most reclusive bachelor and becomes a full-blown adventure steeped in the town’s secrets, gossip, and nosiest residents.
Somewhere between Reese’s big questions, bigger ideas, and the way she keeps tripping into his quiet life… Eli realizes she’s the most disruptive thing he’s ever wanted.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
How cute were these two?? 😍
Eli and Reese start off with a simple short-term tenant-landlord arrangement. She comes to his town to learn more about her mother’s past, but what she doesn’t expect is the attraction between them. And ignoring that pull? Easier said than done!
Eli knows she’s leaving soon and is determined to keep her at arm’s length. But when Reese pushes him one too many times, he finally lets go of his self-control, and suddenly, keeping things casual doesn’t seem so easy anymore.
With the clock ticking and feelings neither of them saw coming growing stronger, they’ll have to decide if what they’ve found is worth taking a chance on.
These two never stood a chance at keeping things casual!
