Escape to the beautiful lavender fields of Provence this summer
Del moved to the south of France three years ago and hasn't looked back. She's found new friends, new purpose, and new love with gorgeous Fabien.

But just as harvest on her little lavender farm is due to begin, Del gets some shocking news. With no time to dwell as she welcomes a new crew of lavender pickers, she unexpectedly waves goodbye to Fabien for the summer.

Usually cooking - the thing she loves best - would help soothe her troubles, but Del doesn't remember how . . . And then chef Zacharie comes to town, dropping another bombshell!

Over one summer in Provence that's full of surprises, friends old and new rally round. Can they complete the harvest and pull the community back together? And if Fabien returns, will Del finally get her happy-ever-after?
