When former Army engineer Jake Morrison walks away from his corporate job, a beekeeping retreat in Vermont changes everything.

Grace Blackwood fights to preserve her grandmother's 100-year beekeeping legacy. When pesticide poisoning threatens everything, she needs a partner who understands some battles are worth fighting.

Teacher-student becomes something neither expected: partnership transforming grief into purpose, isolation into love, two broken people into something stronger together.
