A Farmer’s Kiss

When Lily Palgrave arrives at the Zerba Farm in Mequon, Wisconsin, she’s not looking for love — just a quiet escape and a fresh start. She was there for research; a love story centered around a farm and finding love. But Arthur Zerba, the reserved farmer with ginger hair and a soul stitched in solitude, becomes the unexpected chapter in her story. What begins as a clash of worlds slowly unfolds into a tender connection neither of them saw coming. From piggyback rides and Culver’s runs to late-night confessions and a silver bear keychain, their bond deepens in the spaces between words. But when Lily leaves, the distance between Maryland and the farm feels insurmountable—and so does the ache of what could have been. A year later, fate steps in with a pair of glossy black stilettos and a quiet message: love doesn’t follow logic—it follows the heart.

A Farmer’s Kiss is a heartwarming, emotionally rich romance about second chances, quiet longing, and the courage to say yes to forever.
