About this ebook

Sometimes the unexpected leads us to where we belong… An uplifting new series by the USA Today bestselling author of the beloved Poppy Creek novels.

Abigail Preston never expected to own an inn. Then again, she never thought she’d become a foster mom or fall for her late husband’s best friend, either.

As soon as the pieces of her complicated life start falling into place, two unexpected visitors arrive, threatening to undo everything.

The only guest at the inn she’s happy to see is her best friend, Nadia.

Fresh off a public breakup, Nadia Chopra can’t wait to move on. Only this time, she’ll do it right. By enlisting the help of her matchmaker aunt.

With so many eligible men, why can’t she stop thinking about Evan Blake—a man who loves to surf and make sweets, but who’s the furthest thing from a perfect match?

Evan Blake is too focused on continuing his mother’s saltwater taffy legacy to date. And after what happened the last time he tried, he doesn’t have much interest, anyway. But a confident, dark-haired beauty who always speaks her mind has his heart racing more than a twenty-foot wave.

Can love overcome the odds and lead our new friends to their happily ever afters?


Welcome to Blessings Bay, an idyllic seaside town where strangers become friends and friends become family.

This story is more than a two for the price of one and beautifully sets the tone for the books to come. Fortunately it ends with a satisfactorily happy note so that you do not feel as if it leaves you hanging. It however opens the door in the best possible way to have you ready and wanting to read the next book.
