Thanksgiving at Serendipity Springs
(2026)(Book 11 in the Serendipity Springs Sweet Holiday Romance series)
A novel by Ella Score
He left without saying goodbye. Eight years later, he’s back across the stone wall.
Cassandra Crowe has spent years taking care of Serendipity Springs. As owner of the Grange, she’s the woman everyone can depend on—and this Thanksgiving, she’s determined to make the town’s Found Family Feast one to remember.
Then Jamie Jessop comes home.
Once, the Jessops were the closest thing Cassandra had to family. She grew up around their kitchen table, spent her childhood beside Jamie’s sister, and carried a quiet hope that someday Jamie might see her as something more.
Instead, he left without saying goodbye.
Now Jamie is back at the family orchard, caring for his ailing father and trying to manage everything alone. When he brings the Jessops’ old cider press to the Grange to restore it for the Thanksgiving Feast, Cassandra has no choice but to work beside the man she spent eight years trying to forget.
Afternoons restoring the press soon become shared memories, unexpected laughter and moments that feel dangerously like the beginning they never had. But Jamie is still keeping parts of his life behind a wall, convinced that loving Cassandra means protecting her from the burdens he carries.
Cassandra knows better.
She doesn’t need Jamie to fix everything. She needs him to trust her enough to stay—and finally let her in.
This Thanksgiving, two people who have spent years carrying everything alone may discover that love isn’t about avoiding the hard things. It’s about finding someone willing to carry them with you.
