Blurb

A shy bookshop owner finds love with the help of a mysterious journal, and a little Christmas magic.

In this no-spice, cozy romance, Talvi Laine has just inherited the Bakery Bay Books & Brew following her grandmother, Hedda's, unexpected retirement. Talvi believes owning the quaint bookshop and living in the cozy apartment above it is all she'll ever need to be happy. Until THE RUSH. That rush of joy that starts in her toes and zips through her entire body, leaving her breathless and giddy. She has only experienced it a handful of times, but it ALWAYS signifies something BIG.

Join Talvi, along with the other residents of Bakery Bay you've come to know and love, as she embarks on a journey that includes misinterpreted signs, wrong turns, unexpected open doors, a mysterious journal, and a stranger who just might be her soul mate.

Author

Anastacia Hawkins is a sweet romance author living a slow, cozy life in the Pacific Northwest—where rainy mornings, warm coffee, and quiet moments shape the stories she tells.

I believe love lives in the small things: gentle glances, shared mugs, meaningful conversations, and the comfort of being truly seen. My work and my life are guided by hygge, warmth, and love—creating stories and spaces that feel like coming home.
