Honey Ridge, Tennessee, is a place where the tea is as sweet as the people who live there, and where secrets simmer just below the surface… 

Thriller writer Hayden Winters has come to this small Southern town to write his latest book—and escape from his real life. But the charming old Peach Orchard Inn, and a woman whose presence is as gentle as a sparrow's song, throw his carefully plotted life into a tailspin. 

For quiet and generous Carrie Riley, the handsome writer is a welcome challenge to her battered heart. But before romance can bloom, they must first unravel the truth about a vulnerable boy hiding at the inn—and the centuries-old mystery that haunts Hayden's sleep. Putting their trust in each other, Carrie's and Hayden's lives become entwined in ways neither could have imagined. And it will test everything they thought they knew about the meaning of love.
