Her daughter Sunny worries that she’s lonely, but Hannah insists that she simply has no time for romance.

Robert Forester is a man trying to let go of old wounds. The philanthropic lawyer moved to the tiny town of Highland to make peace with the loss of his wife and begin a fresh chapter with people who don’t know his past.

With a delightful mix of small-town charm and heartwarming clean romance, The Sugar Pine Cafe series is a memorable women’s fiction read that’s perfect for fans of second chances and feel-good happily-ever-afters.
