The Bean and Bun - Paperback

She traded deadlines for daydreams...but chasing her bliss might cost her everything.

Burned out from the hustle of corporate life, Aggie Jeffries dream of running a cozy beachside bakery on charming Sandcastle Island is finally a reality. Except the real life version doesn't quite match up to the vision board, her profits are thinner than her croissant dough, and her dream is about to crash and burn.

Enter Brooks Jagger: world-famous novelist, recently heartbroken by his A-list ex, and unexpectedly back in town. When a comedy of errors leads him to propose an unconventional partnership that allows Aggie to host luxury oceanfront cooking retreats in his family's historic beach house, it feels like the lifeline she's been searching for.

It just might work, but the house holds a decades-old secret, the neighbors want her gone, and falling for Brooks? That could be the messiest risk of all.
