The Bakery on Juniper Cove

Sometimes coming home is the hardest thing you'll ever do.

Nora Bellamy thought she had left Juniper Cove behind for good. Four years in Boston have given her a career in professional kitchens and a life she worked hard to build. But when her beloved grandmother dies, Nora is pulled back to the little coastal town she once called home.

Waiting for her is Dot's bakery-a charming yellow building filled with memories, a struggling business weighed down by unpaid taxes, and a deadline that could cost Nora the legacy her grandmother left behind.

Selling the bakery would be the sensible choice. Staying could change everything.

Then there's Eli Hartwell.

Eli has been keeping the bakery standing, one repair at a time. He's dependable, frustratingly capable, and the boy Nora left behind without ever explaining why. Working alongside him brings old feelings rushing back, forcing Nora to confront the past she thought she had escaped.

As the annual Lobster Festival approaches, the town rallies around the bakery, and Nora begins to discover that home might be more than a place she outgrew. It might be the life she never knew she wanted-and the love she never truly left behind.

But Juniper Cove has secrets of its own, and the truth could change everything Nora believes about Eli and the future she is trying to build.

Can Nora save her grandmother's bakery, make peace with her past, and find the courage to choose the life-and the love-she really wants?
