Pastries and Promises by Caitlin Ricci

At 32, Claire’s world shatters when she tragically loses her husband. To escape her overwhelming grief, she leaves her old life behind and moves to the charming seaside town of Willow Cove. In this quaint, close-knit community, Claire hopes to find the strength to heal surrounded by her untamed garden and her cat, Daisy.
The first glimmer of hope comes when Claire meets Eva, the kind owner of a local cafe called Sweet Delights. A spark quickly forms between them, but Claire is still deeply grieving and Eva has recently faced a betrayal from her ex girlfriend.
Their friendship slowly gives way to romance, something neither woman expects. But prejudices lurk below the idyllic town’s surface. As their relationship deepens, Claire and Eva encounter disapproval and obstacles to acceptance. Together they discover the remarkable strength of chosen family and fight for their chance to build a loving future.
