Welcome to Sugarpine Lake
Welcome to Sugarpine Lake — a small lakeside town where the sunsets glow over the water, the coffee is always hot, and everyone knows everyone’s business.
It’s the kind of place where friendships run deep, summer nights last a little longer, and falling in love is practically inevitable.
Each book in the Sugarpine Lake series follows a different woman finding her place in this tight-knit town — and discovering that sometimes the life you didn’t plan turns out to be exactly the one you needed.
