Kara Sullivan’s life revolves around her young daughter, her beloved hometown of Larkin Bay, and the cherished garden center she inherited from her late mother.

Quitting her job and moving to a small apartment above Daisy’s Dress Shop in Larkin Bay means Amber can try to write a best-selling novel, heal from past heartbreak, and convince her doting family she can be independent. Or so she hopes.

They might want to deny their powerful attraction, but love has other plans. As they try to move past old hurts, Amber’s fear of dogs and align their dreams, things get messy—really messy.

Falling in love again just shouldn’t be this hard.
