Summer With A Chocolatier by LizAnne Axtel

Sometimes love is the sweetest treat of all.

Filled with hopes and dreams, I moved to Love Beach to support my energetic son’s gymnastics training and start our lives over again. Everyone says I’m resilient. I’m just good at faking it.
The newest shop in town is overflowing with the rich and indulgent aroma of chocolates. I’m shocked, and panicked, when the man who created my son’s birthday surprise appears. Memories of our passionate college romance flood back like melted chocolate.

Setting up Choco-Love and selling artisanal chocolate in a humid, beach community is crazy. My sister and I are determined to embrace the challenge and become the talk of the town.
On opening day, the crash of a broken Choc-cuterie board brings me face to face with the woman I left behind—with no explanation. The woman I can’t forget.
There must be a way to overcome the heartache I see in her eyes. Will she give me the sweetness of a second chance?
