The Bakery at Driftwood Cove A heartwarming small-town romance filled with second chances, sweet moments, and the magic of finding home. When Emery Bennett returns to Cedar Shores to open a seaside bakery, she hopes to rebuild a life rooted in joy and purpose. What she doesn’t expect is to run into Sam Wilder—her high school friend turned devoted single father—whose animal rescue is as full of heart as he is. As Emery pours herself into cinnamon rolls, rock gardens, and restoring the Driftwood Nook, Sam and his daughter Elle slowly become part of her daily rhythm. With each shared moment—holiday events, beach walks, and late-night fireside chats—Emery realizes that happiness might be right where she left it.
