Whispers of Love at Hearts Hotel
(2026)(The third book in the Sweet Blossom Bay series)
A novel by Amy Rafferty
Sometimes the past has a way of bringing people together.
Summer in Sweet Blossom Bay is busier than ever as pool repairs finally begin at Hearts Hotel. But when workers uncover artifacts buried beneath the property, Linda Heart quickly realizes the discovery could change everything. Drawing on her years working at a Miami museum, she calls in Dr. Owen Reed to help assess the historic find – hoping the discovery may buy the hotel the time it desperately needs.
Recently divorced and hoping for a quieter chapter of life, Owen never expected to find himself juggling a growing archaeological dig, the Sweet Blossom Bay Historical Society, and ownership of The Bay Café all at once. Then Isabel Wayne walks through his doors looking for a summer job and a fresh start of her own.
As the town gathers around the excitement of the discovery, Owen and Isabel find comfort and laughter through shared shifts and small moments that begin to brighten Isabel’s world again. As the days pass, Isabel begins to rediscover pieces of herself she thought grief had taken away, while Owen finds that sharing life with someone again may not feel as complicated as he once feared.
Meanwhile, Linda and Darius find themselves drawn into an increasingly complicated future as tensions rise over Hearts Hotel and outside pressures threaten the town’s peaceful balance. Yet through it all, the people of Sweet Blossom Bay continue to show up for one another – with open hearts, helping hands, and the reminder that new beginnings can appear in the most unexpected places.
Whispers of Love at Hearts Hotel is Book 3 in the uplifting Sweet Blossom Bay series, filled with coastal charm, meaningful friendships, later-in-life romance, and the joy of finding new purpose in unexpected places.
