Let Corsair's Cove draw you home again ...Corsair's Cove has a reputation for being one of the most haunted places in the Pacific Northwest. Back in Prohibition days, it was a roaring hive of rumrunners, flappers, money, and betrayal. Big Tom Macfarlane and Marigold Mayhew met in the old apple orchard, loved hard, and died young, but their story isn't finished. Because some betrayals have consequences that echo down through time ... and demand the kind of resolution that only true love can bring ...That same apple orchard has now been sold to the local carpenter to make a home for his bride-and has become a bone of contention. Who knew that the cider apple that made Joe Johannsen's family famous during Prohibition-an apple thought to be extinct-would still be growing there? When Joe and Siena Panati discover the secret recipe hidden in plain sight, will it mean their future-or will it tear their friendships apart? Then Sam Wilson's return to the Cove for an antique car rally triggers a series of ghostly visitations. The last thing he needs is for Marigold's ghost to reveal herself to Haley Struthers, the botanist who discovered the apples. But Haley has something very real to be afraid of, and only Sam can help her. It all comes to a head when Lora Trelawney returns to the Cove. With the help of Spike the bartender, she discovers that some secrets aren't meant to be kept ... even from herself ... and love is the only way that the Cove's Jazz Age secrets will ever be resolved ...Readers have fallen in love with Corsair's Cove, its small-town atmosphere and quirky characters. The Reading Café called the Chocolate Shop novellas "swoon-worthy love stories sure to sweeten your life."
