Sono passati due anni da quando Riley Brown, col cuore ridotto in mille pezzi, si è trasferita sull'isola di Sugarberry per dimenticare il suo ex e cominciare una nuova vita. Adesso vive col fedele cagnone Brutus e lavora per un'agenzia immobiliare, un'attività che le permette di avere tempo libero da dedicare alla sua vera passione: la fotografia, in particolare di cibo e dolci. Ed è grazie a questo hobby che Riley ha conosciuto Leilani, la proprietaria della pasticceria di Sugarberry, ed è entrata a far parte del cupcake club, un gruppo di persone simpatiche e disponibili che tra una ricetta e l'altra è diventato come una grande famiglia. Tutto bene, dunque, se non fosse che, a essere sincera, Riley sente che alla sua vita manca qualcosa, come un tocco di soffice glassa alla vaniglia su un cupcake. E l'ingrediente magico che aspettava potrebbe essere il famoso - e terribilmente sexy scrittore Quinn Brannigan: in cerca di un luogo tranquillo dove scrivere il suo nuovo romanzo, Quinn si è ricordato dell'incantevole Sugarberry, l'isola dove ha trascorso le più belle estati della sua infanzia, e ha preso in affitto una casa sulla spiaggia grazie all'aiuto di Riley. Lei lo ha subito colpito, e non solo per la sua bellezza solare: per quanto provi a concentrarsi sul lavoro, non riesce a togliersela dalla testa. Ma sebbene Riley e Quinn si sforzino di resistere alla crescente attrazione che li lega, il destino ha in serbo un programma molto speciale per loro...

Only Mother Nature keeps thwarting both their plans, leaving Pippa snowbound with unsettling thoughts about how life can take unexpected turns . . . To Pippa's surprise, she might actually fall for small-town living. She might even fall for Seth, whose quiet strength is a balm for her world-weary soul. But when the music starts once more, will she follow her fortune back to Ireland, or surrender to the call of her heart?

Sunny never expected to find herself owning a centuries old silk mill in the shadow of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains or becoming a half-sister to a ten-year-old named Bailey. Once the shock subsides, she plans to cash in and head back home.

And someone else is making it hard for Sunny to leave: Sawyer Hartwell, an Iraq War hero who wants to make the old mill a creative hub for the artisans of Blue Hollow Falls and wants Sunny to share his vision, and his life sexy as this ex-soldier may be, she's not sure she's ready to give love a chance.

Standing on the porch of the sprawling farmhouse, looking out on row upon row of those lush purple plumes, Hannah is ready to embrace this fresh, new start . . .Then she meets Wilson McCall. The stonemason hired to fix their crumbling chimneys and leaky roof is quieter than most folks in the Falls. Hannah's not surprised to learn the widower struggles with his own grief. Who could blame her if she finds joy in making Will laugh again, or if she feels a poignant kinship when she sees him with his teenaged son? But her deepening friendship with Will reminds Hannah that there's a part of her that still needs to heal--awakening a tender yearning to have a life that isn't just good enough, but lived fully--even if that means taking risks once more . .
