Hidden Treasures at Hearts Hotel
(2026)(The fifth book in the Sweet Blossom Bay series)
A novel by Amy Rafferty
Sometimes the right person sees us more clearly than we see ourselves.
Hearts Hotel no longer feels like a place on the verge of being lost. With visitors arriving daily, the old seaside inn is filled with fresh energy, busy kitchens, and the steady feeling that something important is taking root in Sweet Blossom Bay once again.
When attorney Penny Rawlings arrives to handle the hotel’s legal work, she expects a straightforward job. Penny has always prided herself on reading people well – on knowing a room the moment she walks into it. So when she meets a quiet man in dusty work clothes coming up from the dig site, she assumes he’s the handyman.
It’s only days later she realizes her mistake. Martin Hale isn’t staff at all, but the hotel’s highly respected accountant – the man whose careful work she’s been admiring all week, and who has quietly kept Hearts Hotel running for the past year.
As they spend late nights sorting through paperwork at the kitchen table, Penny finds herself looking forward to Martin’s quiet company. And little by little, they discover after years of disappointment and heartbreak, it’s still possible to find comfort in someone who understands you.
Meanwhile, Linda Heart begins to see a different side of Darius as tensions within the Wayne family threaten the future they’ve all been working toward. And with grandchildren filling the hotel with laughter, evening walks along the bay, and the whole town pitching in wherever needed, Sweet Blossom Bay keeps proving that life rarely unfolds the way it’s planned – but sometimes it turns out better.
Hidden Treasures at Hearts Hotel is Book 5 in the romantic Sweet Blossom Bay series, filled with seaside charm, enduring friendships, later-in-life romance, and the joy of finding where you belong.
Genre: Romance
