BLURB:

I missed my grandmother’s funeral for a marketing pitch in Spain, and now I’m back to clean up what’s left of her life…

I came back to Budgie Bay to clean out my grandmother’s cottage.
That’s it. In and out. Sell the place. Return to my real life in New York with my billionaire boyfriend and my fast-paced marketing career.

Instead, I found a collapsing house, an empty aviary…
and the grumpy carpenter who’d been taking care of her behind my back.

Elias Cove thinks I abandoned my grandmother.
He’s not entirely wrong.

Now I’m stuck in his house sleeping in my grandmother’s old room, surrounded by her journals, her birds, and the small-town memories I tried to outrun.

He loves slow mornings.
I live on airport coffee and deadlines.
He resents the city girl who never showed up.
I resent the way he makes this town feel like something I lost.

But when BudgieFest, the town’s iconic annual event, rolls around and a public proposal from my perfect-on-paper boyfriend forces me to choose who I really am…
the truth is harder to ignore.

Because somewhere between rescuing neglected birds, restoring a broken cottage, and falling asleep to the sound of wind chimes singing on the porch, I realize something terrifying…

Home isn’t where you’re from.
It’s where you decide to stay.

And Elias Cove might be the only place I’ve ever truly wanted to land.

This small-town cozy romance will take you on a vacation of the mind. HEA guaranteed.

Welcome to Budgie Bay. You’re always invited.
