From the author of the viral TikTok phenomenon, The Pumpkin Spice Cafe, comes a brand new spicy romance!
‘Unputdownable, I devoured [it] within days… Dream Harbor is not short of a vibrant and hilarious cast of characters to help breathe life into the already charming town’ Reader Review
‘A charming break from reality’ Publishers Weekly
When a secret message turns up hidden in a book in the Cinnamon Bun Bookstore, Hazel can’t understand it. As more secret codes appear between the pages, she decides to follow the trail of clues… she just need someone to help her out.
Gorgeous and outgoing fisherman, Noah, is always up for an adventure. And a scavenger hunt sounds like a lot of fun. Even better that the cute bookseller he’s been crushing on for months is the one who wants his help!
Hazel didn’t go looking for romance, but as the treasure hunt leads her and Noah around Dream Harbor, their undeniable chemistry might be just as hot as the fresh-out-of-the-oven cinnamon buns the bookstore sells…
The Cinnamon Bun Book Store is a cozy romantic mystery with a HEA guaranteed!

Review by Lou
I fell in love with this book within pages! The title and cover drew me in, and Gilmore's writing won me over. When annotated books start appearing in Hazel's bookstore, her friend and local fisherman, Noah, offers to help her solve the mystery by following the clues. As the two spend more time together, they get closer than expected and things start to change…
This small town, friends-to-lovers novel was as cozy as fluffy blankets and sweet as sugar. I'm so eager to read more about this little town in the rest of the Dream Harbor series!
