After surviving the hardest chapter of her life, Stella Maxwell has learned to keep her world small and her heart guarded. Working full-time editing books and occasionally helping at her family's winery brings her peace and purpose-but they can't fill the loneliness she feels or the personal connection she secretly longs for. A chance meeting at a book signing changes everything. When Stella meets Christopher Miller, her world shifts.
There's a gentleness in his eyes and a kindness that makes her wonder if there's more to life. What she doesn't realize is that Christopher's carrying wounds of his own. Still, he sees Stella in a way no one has in years. Their quiet spark leads to connection through shared laughter and tender moments. Just as their relationship starts, shadows of his past-and his complicated family ties-threaten to change everything. As autumn settles over Crescent Lake, life becomes sweeter and more rhythmic, until someone breaks into Christopher's bookstore and steals valuable property.
But danger intensifies after Stella is seriously injured in a car crash that wasn't accidental. Stella and Christopher must uncover the truth before the threat hiding in the shadows tears apart their future. Because love doesn't come in a perfect package-it gradually develops from friendship, to trust, to the kind of love that opens your heart and makes you believe again. Cantina, Book 6 in the Price Family Romance Series, can be read as a standalone.
Happy reading.
