Publisher Description
Readers have fallen in love with Jodi Thomas’s Honey Creek series, featuring an “inviting setting and quirky, good-hearted characters” (Publishers Weekly). With tender romance, adventure, and a touch of mystery, Sunday at the Sunflower Inn is comfort reading at its best, bringing together a cast of endearing locals in intertwined stories perfect for fans of Robyn Carr, Susan Mallery, Susan Wiggs, and Debbie Macomber.
Jessica Ann MacKenzie—“Jam” to everyone in Honey Creek—has fulfilled her dream of owning the best restaurant for miles around. Serving romantic candlelit dinners on Valentine’s Day is a reminder of another dream, one she’s just about given up on. Until, that very night, Sergeant Tucson Smith clambers out of the muddy river and onto her land, bringing the promise of something they’ve both been searching for.
When McCoy Mason crashes on Interstate 45, he doesn’t just bust up his Mustang, his leg, and his relationship. He also loses his prospects of a job and apartment in Houston. Honey Creek, home to his estranged grandfather, offers a temporary respite. After all, what permanent use could a town so picture-perfect have for a man like him?
At sixty-seven, Charles H. Winston III lives by order and routine. One of his cherished rituals is a regular lunch date with three lovely ladies at the Honey Creek Café, including the very proper Miss Lilly Lambert. But it’s not too late to surprise the whole town—or himself—by seizing a chance for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. And there’s no better season than spring, a time of renewed hope and second chances . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Thomas's fourth Honey Creek romance (after Dinner on Primrose Hill) captures the charm of a small Texas town as its residents discover love. Melody Avendale, 17, is tired of her professor parents controlling every aspect of her life and rebels with a secret boyfriend, Michael Alderton. Meanwhile, down on his luck McCoy Mason arrives in Honey Creek following an accident that left him with a broken leg and a broken heart and works to rebuild his life. Elsewhere, 60-something Charles Winston III decides to finally propose marriage to his special lady friend, proving that it is never too late to take a chance on love. And, in the strongest thread, restaurateur Jessica Ann "Jam" Mackenzie encounters a mysterious man walking out of the creek near her café. The "mud man" is Sergeant Tucson Smith, in town to help his brother, the sheriff, investigate a crime. After Jam helps Tucson get cleaned up, the pair spend an unforgettably tender night together. The story lines are united by the characters' love of Honey Creek and the feeling of community. Through this immersive, mosaic romance, Thomas illuminates the ways ordinary lives can be transformed by the simple kindness of others.
