A blizzard. A cozy inn. A second chance at love.
When Kate Taylor Moore hears a familiar voice during a winter storm, she knows instantly it’s Thornton — the man she loved forty years ago. What follows is a reunion filled with memories, missed chances, and a miracle that just might rewrite their ending.
Browse the shop, enjoy the cozy atmosphere, and pick up a signed book for yourself or a fellow romance lover. It’s the perfect Valentine’s Day treat — no chocolates required. 💖
