A heartwarming small-town second-chance romance about a young woman who returns to her roots in rural Oklahoma to open a sunflower farm, only to face an even bigger challenge: confronting her first love for the first time in years.
As an enrolled citizen of the Chickasaw Nation, Nava brings authentic Native protagonists to the forefront of modern romance novels. SUNFLOWER SEASON delivers more of Nava’s signature swoonworthy romance starring Indigenous characters, while exploring themes of second-chance love, friendship, workplace burnout and grief.
PRAISE FOR SUNFLOWER SEASON:
“Sunflower Season is full of grit, growth, and small-town charm. The story dives deep into what it means to chase bliss and fall in love against the odds.

“Sunflower Season has all the Danica Nava trademarks: it’s poignant, charming, cheeky, and a masterclass in voice. June and Noah are beautifully flawed and entirely relatable as they navigate the tensions and sweetness of their second-chance romance. Nava thoughtfully explores heavy themes—questions of grief, belonging, and the scars of the past weave through the narrative as these childhood sweethearts find each other again as adults.”—Brigitte Knightley, New York Times bestselling author of The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy

ABOUT SUNFLOWER SEASON:
June Walker once dreamed of more than her rural Oklahoma hometown—and she escaped on a scholarship to UC Berkeley, chasing a fresh start after the death of her beloved grandmother. But now, working in a high-pressure role in the tech industry, June reaches a breaking point. So, she quits her job and buys an abandoned sunflower farm back home.
June knows nothing about running a farm, and she quickly learns that “good vibes” are not a business plan. Nothing, however, tests her resolve quite like running into Noah Abbott: her first love, her everything, the boy she left behind after her world imploded when she was seventeen.
Noah never left Love County. Between his family, his job with the local fire brigade, and a town that knows him inside and out, he has everything he needs—except answers about what happened between him and June Walker all those years ago. So when June returns as the new owner of Sunshine Farm, Noah is determined to find out why the girl who once meant everything to him vanished without a word.
As old wounds crack open and attraction flares back to life, June and Noah are forced to reckon with their past and decide whether first love is a memory best left buried, or the one thing worth replanting.
