Dustin Rhett has avoided taking over the family farm for years. After being laid off from his nine to five job in New York City, a call from his grandfather felt like fate. A drive to the unhinged, but charming town he's since forgotten was inevitable.

Violet "Vivi" Hart is the proud owner of, The Not So Secret Garden, a flower and garden shop in Thornwood Valley, Pennsylvania. Her life seems to be status quo, at least appearing to be. Until the gossip mill strikes again with the announcement of the town's annual spring small business games. To her dismay she's paired with the grumpy man she collided with only days earlier...Dustin.

When Dustin brings out feelings Violet's tried so hard to suppress, she finds herself face to face with her scarred past and unresolved grief.

Will she overcome her fears and explore a budding romance with Dustin? Or will they continue to be rivals?

A Fowl Match is the first book in the Thornwood Valley Series. A small town rom-com set in spring. Filled with chicken puns to make you laugh out loud, tender moments to bring you to tears, and one small open door chapter.
