Expecting a relaxing getaway at her family’s summer estate, pampered socialite Elsie Foster-Quinn signs up for the Women’s Land Army. When she ends up at a Somerset dairy farm instead, Elsie immediately butts heads with the grumpy farmer she now works for. Being a land girl in a small town is far more than the city girl bargained for.
Ben Grainger hates asking for help. When two land girls unexpectedly arrive on his farm, he quickly learns he can’t simply make them go away. He finds amusement in tormenting Elsie whose privileged life certainly didn’t prepare her for farm life. However, nothing could have prepared Ben for the feelings that suddenly emerge whenever the haughty little princess is near.
Why can’t he keep his eyes off her? And why can’t she stop thinking about him? Opposites attract—but is it true love?
Between the Germans bombing nearby Bath and a deadly disease rampaging through local farms, Ben and Elsie’s trust in each other is put to the ultimate test.
Elsie Foster-Quinn suffers through training for the Women’s Land Army, knowing she has a plum assignment waiting for her at Channel House, her family’s Suffolk property.
Her dreams are abruptly shattered when the British Army takes over the property, resulting in her assignment to a real farm.

What ensues is a comedic series of events as Elsie and her fellow land girl, Sheila, try to adjust to life on the farm and focus on growing vegetables.
