When Elena Santiago joins the Johnsons’ seasonal crew at the cane farm in Duckinwilla Creek, she plans to stay only three months—just long enough to complete the final leg of her journey before returning to Brazil to reshape her family’s fifth-generation farm. But from the moment Guy Johnson sees the quiet, yet confident woman with bright ideas and a deep connection to the land, something shifts.
As they work together on the farm, their professional respect slowly deepens through shared sunrises in the fields, stargazing at night, and long talks about generational farming.
As Elena’s departure draws near, Guy faces a choice he never expected: hold on to the comfort of the familiar or follow the woman who’s quietly captured his heart.
Stories grounded in place, resilience, and the quiet strength of community.
