Sweet Beginnings — Nicole Ellis

A surprise inheritance. An even more surprising chance for love.

Dahlia Winters lives a free-spirited, carefree life…until she inherits a fledgling small town bookstore. Life in Candle Beach is anything but ideal for her. The sooner she can get out from under the bookstore and its mounting debts, the better. Until then, she plans to rekindle old friendships and sketch the beautiful coastal scenery. That is until she meets her handsome new neighbor…
When Garrett Callahan first lays eyes on Dahlia, he's instantly smitten, and that's precisely why he must stay as far away from her as possible. No matter how hard he tries to resist, life and circumstance keep throwing them together. But when he learns of her financial troubles, he can't help but want to lend her a hand, and eventually, his heart â€" if she'll have it.

Will the flighty girl with big city sensibilities scare Garrett away or will she open his eyes to the possibility of happily-ever-after despite their differences?

Welcome to Candle Beach, where falling in love is easy..almost.
