(2025)(The second book in the Love in Sandcastle Cove series)
A novel by Johnnie Alexander
NEW SERIES! Escape to the charming beachside town of Sandcastle Cove where gentle breezes and beautiful coastal views provide a sanctuary for those seeking new beginnings and a second chance at love.
Hope Bennett isn’t sure if inheriting a rundown bakery in the small town of Sandcastle Cove, South Carolina, is a blessing or a curse. While visiting her elderly uncle, she pours her heart out about her troubles and fears. Having overheard Hope’s financial concerns, his nurse tells her about the upcoming King’s Mill Flour Baking Competition. Winning the grand prize could be the answer to all her problems. Alex Murphy’s career as an internet baking star is taking off in a direction he doesn’t want to go, but he feels helpless to change it. When the show’s producer learns of the baking competition, he sees an opportunity to further Alex’s career and dares Alex to enter. Alex does, on the condition that if he wins, he gets to take a sabbatical from the popular show. He arrives in Sandcastle Cove and heads to the old bakery where his grandmother used to work - instantly charmed by the beautiful new owner.
Despite the fact that he is her rival, Hope feels a strong connection to Alex, but when she discovers he’s there on a dare, she is upset that he’d risk taking a career opportunity away from someone who really needed it. However, Alex isn’t the only one with secrets. Hope begins to realize winning the competition could mean her own past might be revealed, costing her everything. As the holiday season competition heats up, the risks for Alex and Hope continue to rise, and the truth threatens to derail their romance before it even begins.
