Grace at the Blue Cypress

For ten years, construction manager Jenna Hart has stayed in Atlanta, away from the Florida hometown she fled after her brother's death fractured the family and left Grace to bear what Jenna could not.

Grace's sudden death pulls her back to Tarpon Springs, where the bakery still smells of sugar and coffee, the house on Athens Street is falling apart, and her niece Emmie has slipped into a silence that hides how much she wants stability.

Everyone in town remembers Jenna as the Hart sister who ran, even as Grace's world remains painfully intact: a business on the brink and a teenager who will not say what she needs.

Steady, quietly observant contractor Cole Bennett is restoring the Blue Cypress Bakery, and with him Jenna begins repairing both the shop and the house.

The renovation comes more easily than the slow burn between them, the bakery rhythms that root Jenna again, and Emmie's fierce loyalty, which pushes her to face who she was, who she left, and who she still wants to become.

When Grace's ex raises a legal threat, Jenna is no longer fighting only for a building, but for her sister's legacy, her niece's future, and the self she buried a decade ago.
