Cupid’s Sweet Shoppe – Book 1
Welcome back to Ashford Falls, where love is always on the menu!

A widow, a firefighter, and a small-town bakery that just might heal them both.

Widowed Ivy Baker swore she’d never risk her heart again. But when her little sister calls with a wild idea and asks her to come home to Ashford Falls and open a bakery beside Cupid’s Coffeeshop, Ivy says yes to a new beginning.

Firefighter and small-town contractor Nathaniel Knight knows how to fix almost anything, except a broken heart. But the cautious baker next door might just change that.

As the ovens warm and the town’s magic starts to work, Ivy discovers that sometimes the sweetest dreams rise again if you’re brave enough to take one more chance on love.
