Love by the Scoop: A Summer Haven Romance

By Ellie Hayes

She had a crush on him when she was sixteen.
He called her "kid." She's been holding a grudge ever since.

Kenzie Lane has spent years turning Sun & Scoop into one of Summer Haven's favorite places-and convincing herself she's perfectly happy with the life she never exactly planned.

Then the ice cream shop starts falling apart.

Enter Nolan Pierce.

The hometown boy Kenzie once adored is back in Summer Haven, all grown up, unfairly handsome, and unfortunately the only contractor who can get her shop reopened before the spring crowds arrive.

Nolan thinks Sun & Scoop needs serious renovations.

Kenzie thinks he needs to keep his hands off the neon ice cream cone.

But somewhere between demolished walls, late-night taste tests, and one very memorable incident in the walk-in freezer, Kenzie starts realizing Nolan notices her now.

Maybe a little too much.

And when the renovation is finished, they'll both have to decide whether coming home was only temporary...

Or whether some things are worth rebuilding for good.

A sweet, funny small-town romance with a teenage crush, forced proximity, renovation chaos, found family, and plenty of Summer Haven charm.
