The Sunrise Bay Café - Paperback

"The ultimate feel-good novel. Shelly Martel delivers a delightful, cozy read filled with colorful characters, sweet romance, and a charming setting. I loved it!" -Julianne MacLean, bestselling author of These Tangled Vines

Kristen Berquist has always been the reliable one: devoted single mom, beloved town sweetheart, and manager of her family's lakeside café. But with her daughter off to college, Kristen is finally ready for her own adventure-and a fresh start far from her hometown of Autumn Harbor, Minnesota.

There's just one problem: her estranged sister Joanna.

Busy building a fashion empire in New York City, Joanna Berquist rarely sets foot in Minnesota anymore. But when their late mother's will reveals a stunning stipulation, it forces a reunion neither woman wants.

As they navigate long-buried secrets, a handsome newcomer arrives in town and his friendship with Kristen blossoms into romance. With all their hopes and dreams at risk, the sisters must decide what truly matters: holding onto the past or opening their hearts to new beginnings.
