Cherrywood Grove 3


When she arrives in Cherrywood Grove for a working vacation, shy photographer Trisha Ivy expects to kick back and relax,  enjoying her last summer of freedom before turning into a real adult with a mortgage and a nine-to-five. After all, her real life is back in Chicago with her best friend Bella, not a sleepy small town.  But Tricia keeps running into beautiful, confident Gabi Gonzalez, a caterer working all the same weddings. ..and she's the daughter of Trisha's favorite local TV star. Trisha can't resist getting to know her. After all,  she's only in town for the summer, and Gabi is straight. What harm could it do?

Gabi Gonzalez has spent most of her life trying to escape Cherrywood Grove and find something bigger and better.  During an internship in Milwaukee, she thought she'd finally found it. But after her father's sudden death,  she returns home and tries to squeeze back into the same childhood roles: kid sister,  cool aunt, tireless worker. She’s just resigned herself to going through the motions when she meets Trisha,  someone who finally sees Gabi for herself instead of putting her in a box. Can Gabi open up to Trisha about what she wants before Trisha leaves town for good?
