When kindergarten teacher Ali Ross hears community garden, she imagines snap peas, curious kids, and families learning where food comes from. What she doesn't want is a shame machine-another well-meaning project that turns need into spectacle.

Landscape architect Hayden Woods is hired to design the garden, and she's not interested in performative help, either. Hayden builds systems that hold: multiple entry paths, quiet corners, clear signage, and a simple promise-no lines, no policing, no gratitude theater. Ali translates that design into real life, turning kids into garden ambassadors and dignity into routine.

But when a storm hits and subtle sabotage follows, Ali and Hayden learn that the hardest part isn't growing food. It's growing trust. As the greenhouse goes up and the town begins to use the garden like it belongs to them, the women behind the plan find themselves drawn into something neither expected: a slow, steady love built on shared responsibility, protective competence, and the quiet decision to keep showing up.

Rooted in Us is Book Two in the Collins Series-standalone, emotionally intimate contemporary romance set in Collins, Maine.
