One Golden Summer...

When Toronto food stylist Leah Carter agrees to run her aunt's bakery in Prince Edward County for two months, she tells herself it's a pit stop-a summer of flour, lake breezes, and an easy escape back to the city.

Then she runs into Noah Barrett-her first love, now a rising winemaker with a reputation as "the Prince of the County." His pitch is simple: partner with him for the Harvest Festival, pairing her pastries with his wines. The catch? Three weekends of long hours, public eyes, and the kind of closeness they've avoided for nearly a decade.

As festival season heats up, so does everything Leah thought she'd left behind: the easy rhythm of small-town mornings, the thrill of creating something that matters, and the pull toward a man who still knows exactly how she takes her coffee. But rivals are circling, supplies go missing, and a tempting offer from Toronto could derail more than just their booth.

With the lake as their witness, Leah and Noah will have to decide if this is just a summer worth remembering-or the start of a life worth building.

Full of farmers' market mornings, vineyard sunsets, and second chances, One Golden Summer is a sweeping romance about finding the courage to stay when every instinct tells you to run.
