He flies free. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocal-foods chef Claire Halford envisions turning Green Acres Farm into an event destination. Weddings prove trickier than she imagined when the first one comes with a ruggedly handsome brother-of-the-bride, who has everything but a fixed address. Oh, and faith in God. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoel Kenzie loves the freedom his reforestation company affords him. Why worry about deep stuff like God and commitment when he's in his prime? Except there's a woman who might make it worth giving up his wings...and digging in some roots. If he dares. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWild Mint Tea is the second novel in the Farm Fresh Romance series which sees a group of young women purchase an old farm in northern Idaho together with the purpose of growing their own food and proving to those around them that they can make a difference. It is a story of living sustainably on the land and focusing on real, local food from a Christian point-of-view. It doesn't pad the issues nor preach about them, but allows the characters the freedom to grapple with environmentalism as believers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA contemporary Christian romance novel, Wild Mint Tea crosses genres into farm lit. Readers consistently comment on the uniqueness and creativity of the blend. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I just love novels that give you something to think about while making you laugh, and Wild Mint Tea is one of those. I didn't want to put it down, not even to eat.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*~* EXCERPT *~* \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Don't be silly.\" Amber reached for a glass. \"You're walking me down the aisle, brother-of-mine.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoel jerked and the swing twisted sharply, throwing Claire against his shoulder. Too bad she pulled away immediately. \"Uh, no. The wedding is in July? I'll be a long way from here by then. I may not even be able to make it back.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime and activity on the deck stood still. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis sister's face fell. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoel spread his hands. \"What? You know I only have a three-month contract here. I'll be somewhere on Montana's east slopes by the end of July. Depending on the weather, I may not be able to get away.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"But-\" She bit her lip. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMan, he hated that. A whole deck full of women, and not a one of them would understand the way he lived. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Y-you weren't planning to come to my wedding at all?\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe total stillness around him provided everyone's opinions. He'd blown it. This trying to care about his sister thing was a new sensation. Did it matter what all these strangers thought of him? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaybe Claire. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow where did that come from? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoel reached over and took Amber's hands in his. \"Look, sis, I'll try. I just don't know where I'll be or what the situation might be. You know what my summers are like. If you need an absolute commitment out of me, set a winter date.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Then you're in the tropics.\" She tugged her hands free. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Well, I could work around it.\" He studied her face, searching for clues. \"Want to reconsider?\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmber glared at him. \"No. Shawn and I have chosen the date, and you-\" She leaned forward and stabbed him in the chest with a forefinger. \"You better be here, buddy. That's all I can say.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo pushover, his sister. He guessed that was reasonable. They did share genetics, after all. He mustered a grin. \"I'll do the best I can.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"With a tux.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A what?\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"You heard her,\" Sierra put in. \"The bride's the boss.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"But it's outside. On a farm. Who wears tuxes to events like that?\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClaire chuckled. \"You do, apparently.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GreenWords Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47008939901168,"sku":"9780993831362","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780993831362_p0.jpg?v=1763899883","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780993831362","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
