THE NEXT BIG THING, Book One in the Sunrise Beach Series, is officially available for ebook preorder today. The ebook and paperback will be released on April 21 from Harpeth Road Press.
Cora Lockwood has built her career predicting the next big thing in food. She just can’t cook any of it. So when her ex-boyfriend steals her best idea and she loses everything, coming home to Sunrise, North Carolina feels like the only move left. The plan is simple: sell her late grandmother’s café, take the proceeds, and rebuild from the scorched remains of her life.
The problem is Jack Harlow, a brooding, entirely-too-stubborn chef who has been there the whole time, cooking her grandmother’s recipes like he owns the place.
He does not own the place.
They’ve got thirty days. She wants to sell. He won’t budge. And somewhere between late-night cooking lessons and one too many moments of standing too close in a very small kitchen, things get complicated.
It’s a slow-burn, low-spice romance filled with swoony banter, a small-town cast with zero interest in minding their own business, cinnamon rolls that will make you emotional, and a giant dog named Governor Sam. I can’t wait to welcome you to Sunrise. I think you’re going to love it here.
