    About this series

    Ever since Olivia Quinn lost her husband to a plane crash, she's been focused on one thing-making a stable life for her teen stepdaughter, Taylor, of whom she's the sole guardian. But when she loses her job as a children's book editor because she refuses to relocate to New York, three years of hard-won stability are shattered.

    Then the opportunity arises to open Liv's dream bookshop in Haven Ridge. The venture offers not only the solution to her financial problems, but a chance to bond with her stepdaughter and become a real family for the first time. Soon, the wild idea transforms into a thriving nonprofit, thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of the town-and a handsome contractor who stirs feelings in Liv she thought might be gone forever.

    But just as she begins to lean into the new life she's made for herself, a figure from her late husband's past puts the life she's been building with Taylor in jeopardy. And Liv must face the possibility that following her heart might just cost her a daughter.

      When Gemma left her hometown of Haven Ridge, Colorado, she swore she'd never return. And she's kept that promise, leaving old shadows behind and building her reputation as one of LA's preeminent family law attorneys. But when her lifelong best friend begs Gemma to come stay with her teen stepdaughter while she's on a business trip, she doesn't have the heart to refuse. She'll simply keep a low profile, do her honorary aunt duties for Taylor, and be gone before anyone notices. But Haven Ridge seems to have a mind of its own, and before she knows it, Gemma finds herself caught up with new friends and old rivalries. When Taylor is targeted by teen bullies, Gemma does the only thing she knows how to do: ply her honorary niece with baked goods and words of affirmation. Soon her temporary lodgings are ground zero for teenage girls seeking sugar and consolation for shockingly adult problems-which the girls soon dub the Broken Hearts Bakery. Complicating matters is an unexpected reunion with Gemma's high school sweetheart, Stephen, who is determined to change her mind about him, the town, and the nature of love itself. Because as it turns out, her niece isn't the only one nursing a broken heart.
