About this book
When a little girl unexpectedly shows up at his door, Apple Valley deputy Max Stanford gets an unexpected chance at family—and Charlotte Garrison, the sweet baker next door, turns out to be exactly the kind of partner he never knew he needed. Charlotte's been laser-focused on building her dream bakery, keeping her carefully guarded heart safely tucked away, but Max and his adorable three-year-old have other plans. As they navigate the uncertainty of Zuzu's arrival and Max proves he's more than just the charming bachelor she always thought he was, Charlotte starts to wonder if the best dreams are the ones you never see coming. Warm, heartfelt, and full of small-town magic, this is the perfect story about finding home in the most unexpected place.

“Create a playlist called The Cottage on the Corner. Acoustic indie folk with warm, hopeful undertones. Gentle acoustic guitars, soft vocals, and wistful melodies that feel like small-town comfort and rekindled possibility. Think early Bon Iver, Iron & Wine, and The Lumineers—music that balances quiet longing with quiet joy.”
