The adventures in small-town Birch Lake continue with this charming autumn romance, filled with cozy coffee shops, bookstore dreams, and an ex who just won’t stay in the past.

Jules Dubois has always been a go for it person. So when the chance arises to save Birch Lake, Minnesota’s one and only coffee shop, she jumps at the opportunity and doesn’t look back. With the aroma of fresh coffee and books surrounding her, Jules is totally ready to embrace her new, cozy, small-town life.

What Jules did not plan for was her ex-boyfriend moving in next door, threatening her sanity with his undeniable good looks and irritating charm.

Jax MacIntyre came to Birch Lake to leave the past behind and start fresh. Instead, he finds himself face to face with the woman who once shattered his heart, a blow he’s never fully recovered from. The smart thing would be to keep his distance, a sentiment that Jules strongly shares.

…but when a fateful autumn storm—and a reluctant truce—begin to blur her carefully drawn lines, Jules has to scramble to remember all of the reasons why Jax was a bad idea in the first place.

And Jax? He’s beginning to accept the fact that some sparks never truly go out.
