She's building a fresh start. He's holding onto the past. In the heart of small-town Georgia, second chances bloom where you least expect them.
Sadie Brooks came to Briar Creek for a clean slate and a chance to build something of her own. Her charming lunch business, Porch Picnics, is finally taking off-complete with pressed flowers tucked in every box and signature lemonades served in mason jars. Life is simple, sweet, and exactly what she needs.
Until Eli Carter walks into her world.
A widowed single dad raising twin daughters, Eli runs the local hardware store and guards his heart as carefully as he guards his girls. He's not looking for love; he's barely figured out how to move forward. But when his matchmaking daughters fall head over heels for Sadie's kindness (and her lemonade), he finds himself drawn to the woman with the warm smile and gentle spirit.
What starts as neighborly friendship slowly becomes something more. Quiet conversations on front porches. Lemonade purchases that last a little too long. Stolen glances across Main Street. But falling in love means letting go of grief, and Eli isn't sure he's ready to open his heart again.
As summer heats up in Briar Creek, Sadie and Eli must decide: Is holding onto the past worth losing the promise of forever?
Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber and Susan Mallery, Porch Picnics & Promises is a heartwarming small-town romance about second chances, found family, and the courage to love again.
Book 3 in the Hearts of Briar Creek series-each a standalone romance set in the charming Southern town where everyone knows your name and love is always in season.
