Peas, Beans and Corn (Book 2, the Sovereign Series) - Paperback

by Jennifer Wixson (Author)

The romance of a bygone era infuses Book 2 in Jennifer Wixson's Sovereign Series, when Maine Army Guardsman Bruce Gilpin, 35, returns to Sovereign with the secret dream of restarting the town's old sweet corn canning factory. He's encouraged in his mission by the passionate organic foodie Amber Johnson, 21, who reawakens his youthful heart. The course of their true love becomes muddied by their well-meaning mothers, however, and by the arrival of Bruce's ex-wife Sheila and the handsome corporate attorney Ryan MacDonald, who hits town to rusticate. History pervades this little tale of hummingbird moths and morning mists, horse-drawn sleighs and corn desilkers, and a surprising (and satisfying) connection to the poet Emily Dickinson, who could have been describing Sovereign when she once wrote: "I Went to Heaven -- 'Twas a Small Town."
