When twenty-four-year-old Ashton Tremblay steps up to run Tremblay Orchards after his father's sudden heart attack, he expects long days and sore muscles-not the attention of the town's mysterious newcomer. Troy Fischer, the tattooed owner of Black Cat Brewery, approaches Ashton with a proposal: partner up to create a cherry hard cider that celebrates both their crafts. But beneath Troy's easy confidence and flirtatious charm, Ashton suspects there's more than business behind the offer. What starts as a professional partnership soon blurs into late nights at the brewery, the air thick with the scent of cherries and something impossible to ignore. As Ashton learns to navigate the pressures of family legacy, Troy must decide if he's willing to let go of his bitter past and chase after something sweet. This summer in Claremont Shores, passion is brewing-bold, bubbling, and dangerously intoxicating.
