Summer at Willow Creek (Seasons of Love #1)

A novel of second chances, small-town charm, and the quiet magic of coming home.

Freshly divorced and emotionally adrift, Maggie Carter returns to Willow Creek—a seaside town she hasn’t visited in nearly a decade. Her plan? A quiet summer to reset, rebuild, and rediscover who she is. But when she steps into Bennett’s Books and Brew, the charming local bookstore from her youth, she’s met with more than just the scent of chai and old novels… she’s met with Jack Bennett—the one who got away.

Jack has built a life rooted in memory, community, and muffins with just the right amount of blueberry. He never expected Maggie to walk through his door again, and certainly not with eyes that carry stories he hasn’t yet read.

As old sparks reignite and new challenges arise—including a charming-but-cutthroat rival bent on buying out the bookstore—Maggie and Jack must navigate grief, hope, and the delicate art of building something lasting… together.

Summer at Willow Creek is the first standalone novel in the Seasons of Love series—an uplifting journey through second chances, creative courage, and the quiet strength it takes to choose love again.
