The Hayes and the Wright family had history- deep, rooted history that bloomed into chaos for Aaron and Joshua. As a twenty year old college student Joshua thought he had the next few steps of his life figured out. He'll graduate, go on to become an actor/director, and be done with his distant father and the orchard he's known all his life. As a twenty three year old Aaron was set to be married to who he assumed was the love of his life. He would begin a family and work for his father until he was deemed worthy enough to inherit their business. Life could've been simple, until it wasn't. A mysterious group of men move into town- one quirky and supportive, another kind but withered, the third dark and powerful, and the last... claims to be Joshua's soon to be husband. Although a stranger, Aaron proves to Joshua that he's someone unforgettable. A romance blossoms into something sweet and ripe for the two until family history is revealed and past faces come to haunt them. In life no turn should be unexpected. Will they come to learn that even when the seeds of history bloom not all fruits grow sweet, or will they devour what they truly crave? BOOK ONE OF THE ORCHARD COLLECTION
