Poppy Creek

??From the USA Today bestselling author of feel-good, small-town romances, comes a love story bursting with toe-curling chemistry, surprising mysteries, and the unbreakable bonds of chosen family. Kindhearted candymaker Sadie Hamilton wants nothing to do with Mr. Anti-sugar whoā€™s opening a business right next door. Especially since sheā€™s trying to save her struggling confectionery from going under while heā€™s introducing a brand-new shiny establishment that will be a direct competitor to her little store. Between caring for his ailing mother and launching a risky new venture, billionaire philanthropist Landon Morris doesnā€™t have time for distractions. Which is particularly aggravating since he canā€™t get the feisty owner of Sadieā€™s Sweet Shop out of his head. Theyā€™re complete opposites, but as their paths continue to crossā€”and theyā€™re forced to share a booth at the Sips & Sweets Festivalā€”they realize some connections canā€™t be denied, no matter how unexpected. Can they put aside their contention long enough to learn from each otherā€™s differences? Or will they let loveā€”and a chance at happily ever afterā€”slip through their fingertips? The Hope in Hot Chocolate is a sweet, enemies-to-love romance about hope, forgiveness, and, of course, a whole lot of chocolate! Happily ever after guaranteed. Each book is a complete, standalone story, but thanks to the cast of recurring characters, they're much more fun when read in order. Now a complete, bingeable series. ALSO INCLUDES: An original recipe and book club questions. ??
