SYNOPSIS: Frankie doesn’t quite know what to make of Paige, who’s just moved from Brooklyn to her quiet Upstate New York hometown with all the pressed-clothes polish of a city girl. Paige, with her eight-year-old son in tow, is seeking refuge from a rocky relationship and is equally thrown by Frankie: Why can’t she stop thinking about this eternally single, charming, gay vegetable farmer? And could the attraction she’s feeling grow into something more?

“A steamy modern romance for anyone who finds sexual tension in the produce aisle, who fantasizes about a country love affair, who loves clever, tender writing, flirting, and farming.” —Alison Roman, New York Times bestselling author

“I gobbled this up. Down to Earth made me laugh, swoon, and smile hard at the end. I can’t wait for more fiction from Julia Turshen.” —Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author of Flirting Lessons
