I'm the caretaker for my town's namesake sunflower farm. He's the developer trying to ruin it all. Ryder Blackwell blustered into town with a BMW and an agenda. He wants to build fugly apartments next to my grandmother's sunflower farm, but I won't let big Manhattan money ruin the charm of this place. He sends me gift baskets to win my favor. I push him into the stream. He buys an overpriced rooster to grease the mayor on my behalf. I deny the easement he so desperately needs. He strips down to his skivvies to save my historic water wheel and-- I give in. Just a kiss. A touch. A night. But when he needs to take care of urgent business in Manhattan, my begrudging fondness for him turns to longing. We both have big lives in very different places. Responsibilities that can't be handled by anyone else. But the only thing I care about now is whether I can convince him to stay.
