Description
The inn of her dreams is for sale. The only obstacle? The man who wants it too.
Grace Sullivan has been brewing perfect lattes and biting her tongue for years at her mother's cafe, but she's done being the dutiful daughter. When the historic inn on Maple Island goes up for sale, she sees her chance to build something of her own. Her secret weapon? Her anonymous online mentor, "WildTrailGuide," whose late-night messages have become equal parts business advice and forbidden flirtation.
Reese Spencer, a rugged, globe-trotting billionaire, needs that same inn to uncover a family secret buried on the remote island decades ago. What he doesn't expect is a fierce, pink-haired single mom standing in his way.
Neither knows they're already falling for each other online until an autumn storm leaves them stranded on the island overnight. Trapped in the tower honeymoon suite with candlelight, stolen wine, and simmering chemistry, familiar phrases start slipping out . . . and their real identities crash into their growing desire.
Now Grace and Reese must choose: fight for the inn and lose each other, or find a way to build something together that's bigger than both their dreams.
The Sugar Maple Inn is a sweet and spicy second-chance romance filled with small-town charm, quirky characters, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

Person
Laura Bloom is a British author who writes swoon-worthy stories full of heat, heart and a healthy dose of emotional chaos. When she's not wrangling characters on the page, she's wrangling construction jargon as a content and PR specialist for the building industry, meaning she spends a lot of time surrounded by burly men in hi-vis. She lives in the UK with her husband and daughter.
