The Pixie & The Jolly Green

Jackie Greenbriar has spent her whole life taking care of everyone else—siblings, customers, stray animals, you name it. Growing things is what she does best: plants, people, and the occasional stubborn man who insists he doesn’t need help.

Thatcher Ridge is a walking redwood tree with the attitude to match. Big, broody, and absolutely convinced he can handle everything alone… until a fall off a tractor proves otherwise. And until the tiny, determined woman next door refuses to let him push her away.

One injured giant. One caretaker who won’t back down. One unexpected connection that grows roots fast.

As Jackie meets him challenge for challenge, glare for glare, Thatcher realizes two things: he does need help—and he needs her most of all.

A warm, heartfelt this unique Jack and the Beanstalk adaptation about a grumpy man, a sunshine‑bright girl, and the love that grows between them. Modern. Non‑magical. Full of heart. Interconnected standalones. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
