Create Your Own Sunshine

When high-powered Chicago executive Emma Jackson inherits her late aunt’s sunflower farm in Sunshine Valley, Illinois, her plan is sell the land and return to her fast-paced city career. But her aunt left more than a farmhouse — she left Emma a challenge, a mystery, and a legacy worth fighting for.

Reviving the town’s beloved Sunflower Festival seems like the perfect way to honor Maggie’s dream. But powerful developers, led by the ruthless Richard Calloway, will do anything to seize the farm — even if it means sabotage, betrayal, and tearing apart Emma’s fragile new world.

As Emma digs into the secrets Maggie kept, she finds unexpected strength in Jack Barnes, the rugged caretaker who has guarded both the land and his heart. Together, they uncover whispered magic in the fields, a conspiracy threatening the valley, and the kind of love Emma never believed she’d find.

In a town filled with second chances, small-town charm, and hope after heartbreak, Emma must decide whether to run back to Chicago — or stand her ground and fight for the sunshine-filled life she was always meant to live.

Create Your Own Sunshine is a heartfelt small-town romance brimming with courage, community, and love — perfect for fans of Hallmark stories, Debbie Macomber, and RaeAnne Thayne.
