The Night Farm: The Alluring Ache of Autumn by A.L. Davidson

Changes Blow into Wylder Wood with the arrival of Autumn With the revelation of Rhys’ lineage coming to light following the terrifying first meeting with his long-thought-dead father, the residents of Wylder Wood are forced to accept hidden truths about the founding family that have been buried in the graveyard for generations. The new understanding of what it means to be a Wylder extends to every member of the clan, setting off a chain of events that force each of them to question the long standing traditions that became the very foundation of not only their identities, but the town as a whole. Changes are on the way alongside the falling leaves and cooler winds, and Rhys is excited for a calm autumn that will soon arrive in the Wood. With a fresh outlook and hope in his heart for a better tomorrow, the young farmer looks forward to the blessings of harvest season and shifts his focus to better appreciate the important things in his life. Diving headfirst into farmer’s market planning and nurturing his sweet as pumpkin pie romance with Lex, life on the Night Farm is busier than ever. But with deeply buried secrets and ghosts coming to the surface, family drama on the rise, and a mysterious contract on the farmer’s very soul threatening to upend their happiness, Rhys and the gang must learn to endure the aches alongside the joys if they want to make the most out of the final months of the year. Halloween is on the horizon, and life on The Night Farm will never be the same.
