A Royal Honeycomb: A Heartwarming Beach Read (Sweet Honey by the Sea #2)

Aloria Rose finally feels like she belongs in Honeysuckle Cove. Her little flower shop is thriving, her friendships are blooming, and her romance with the town’s favorite grumpy beekeeper, Benjamin Barns, is sweeter than fresh honey on a warm biscuit.

But life in a small town isn’t all wildflowers and sunshine. With the annual flower festival around the corner, Aloria finds herself buried under an avalanche of orders, expectations, and—heaven help her—color-coordinated spreadsheets. Meanwhile, Benjamin’s peaceful beekeeping life is anything but, as a prized royal jelly fiasco and a handful of determined neighbors keep pulling him into the town’s latest chaos.

Between flower crowns, honey-drizzled scones, and a miscommunication or two (or ten), tensions rise, and Aloria starts to wonder if their love is sturdy enough to withstand life’s little stings. Can a grumpy beekeeper and a sunshine florist learn to weather the storms together, or will their sweet romance wilt under the pressure?

The Sweet Honey by the Sea series is a heartfelt, small-town romance full of laughter, second chances, and the reminder that true love—like honey—takes time, patience, and a whole lot of grace.
