Cottage on the Bay

Sometimes, the best recipes are made from second chances and shared dreams.

At sixty-seven, Susan thought she'd closed the final chapter on her culinary career when she sold her Georgia catering business. But moving to Sapphire Bay to reunite with her friends feels like the fresh start she desperately needs—especially when award-winning chef Paul offers her a position at his beloved Lakeside Grill.

Paul left behind the glittering success of his Los Angeles and San Francisco restaurants for the peaceful shores of Sapphire Bay, trading fame and fortune for a simpler life. After his marriage crumbled under the weight of eighteen-hour days and endless ambition, he swore off both romance and the high-pressure culinary world that had consumed him.

When Susan suggests they create an online catering company, Paul's first instinct is to say no. He's done with big dreams and bigger risks. But there's something about Susan's passion for food and her warm, determined spirit that makes him wonder if he's been playing it too safe.

As they work side by side in the kitchen, creating magic with every shared meal, Susan and Paul discover that the most important ingredient in any recipe is trust. Together, they learn that it's never too late to blend two lives, two dreams, and two hearts into something beautiful—proving that the sweetest success comes not from what you achieve alone, but from what you create together.
