Yascha Krüger reluctantly leaves his desk job at the Ministry of Forestry to fill in as a ranger in the Bavarian woods, where his first assignment is to persuade the heir of a privately owned forest to sell the land for a new national park. His plans are quickly complicated when he falls for Mats, a charming wildlife photographer who is, unbeknownst to Yascha, the very man he has been sent to convince. As small lies snowball into bigger complications, Yascha must choose between career ambitions and the chance at genuine love. Set against a picturesque forest backdrop, Whispering Trees is a warm, humorous romance celebrating authenticity, acceptance, and following your heart.
