He came to Maplewood to sell a bookshop. She came to find a home. Neither expected to find a family. Elias Rowan's life is ruled by blueprints, not emotions. After his estranged brother's sudden death, he's reluctantly inherited two things: a crumbling bookshop-café in a charming small town called Maplewood Falls, and a grieving, seven-year-old nephew named Liam. Elias's plan is simple: sell the property, deposit Liam with a distant relative, and get back to his perfectly predictable city life. But Maplewood has a way of holding onto people. Clara Bennett, the bookshop's resident baker and manager, smells trouble the moment Elias walks through the door. The handsome, reserved architect is a wrecking ball in a bespoke suit, threatening to tear down the place she's finally started to belong. Clara knows the true magic of the Maplewood Bookshop Café; it's not just coffee and stories; it's a sanctuary. As Elias struggles to navigate guardianship, leaky pipes, and the overwhelming scent of cinnamon rolls, he finds himself leaning on Clara, whose warmth begins to chip away at his carefully constructed walls. With the town rallying to save their beloved bookshop, Elias must decide if sticking to his meticulous plans is worth losing the unexpected, messy, beautiful life, and the family, he never knew he wanted. Welcome to The Maplewood Falls Series, where every season brings a new love story, and home is always found between the pages.
Penelope Dalton writes heartfelt, small-town fiction where the coffee is always hot, the community is close-knit, and true love is often found where you least expect it. A lifelong lover of stories, Penelope spent years collecting books and daydreaming about quaint bookshops before finally deciding to write her own stories about the magic of a fresh start. She is a firm believer in the power of good neighbors, second chances, and the kind of cinnamon rolls that can solve any problem. When she isn't visiting the fictional town of Maplewood Falls in her imagination, Penelope can be found tending her garden, browsing used book sales for hidden gems, and drinking far too much tea. She lives with her own small, messy family, who constantly remind her that the best adventures never go according to plan.
