Call It Love (Sterling Mill #5)

Chase Allen can make anything grow—except a love match.

Running his small-town nursery keeps him busy but grounded. Every seed planted is like a fresh start—a way to honor the legacy he inherited and focus on the future instead of the heartache he buried. But all of that changes the moment she returns to Sterling Mill.

Chase Allen can make anything grow—except a love match.

Running his small-town nursery keeps him busy but grounded. Every seed planted is like a fresh start—a way to honor the legacy he inherited and focus on the future instead of the heartache he buried. But all of that changes the moment she returns to Sterling Mill. Anna, his high school sweetheart, the girl who broke his heart and disappeared, has returned, and it feels like someone’s ripped up his carefully tended world.

Anna Washington thought she could always return home—until she tried.

Widowed, wary, and wrecked, she’s a far cry from the confident, fiery girl she once was. Life has knocked her down more times than she cares to admit, and now she’s just trying to piece herself back together. When Chase offers her a job as his housekeeper, she hesitates, but with nowhere else to turn, she reluctantly accepts. Living under his roof is a constant reminder of everything she once dreamed of. Yet, as old feelings resurface and new opportunities bloom, Anna wonders if she might finally find the strength to stand on her own.

Together, Chase and Anna navigate the tangled roots of their history. Maybe it’s a shot at closure. Maybe it’s a chance to become friends again. Or maybe—just maybe—they can still Call It Love.
