The Maple Island Inn

Grace Sullivan has spent years brewing perfect lattes and holding her tongue at her mother's small-town café, and she is done being the dutiful daughter.

When the historic inn on Maple Island goes up for sale, she sees a chance to build something of her own, guided by late-night messages from her anonymous online mentor, WildTrailGuide, that have already drifted from business advice into flirtation.

Rugged globe-trotting billionaire Reese Spencer wants that same inn to uncover a family secret buried on the remote island decades ago, and he does not expect a fierce pink-haired single mom to block him.

Neither knows they are already falling for each other online until an autumn storm strands them overnight in the honeymoon suite, where candlelight, stolen wine, and familiar phrases finally give them away.

Now Grace and Reese must choose whether to fight for the inn and lose each other, or find a way to build something larger than either of their dreams.
