Volume 2
Love, Life and Cupcakes
Lyle Chaplin is a single dad new to town. He wants to raise his six-year-old daughter, Lila, in a quiet and safe environment.
Lila spots a tray of cookies and cream cupcakes in the window of the local diner and wanders inside, where she is greeted by the owner, Marley James.
It's then that Lila decides that Marley would be a perfect mother for her!
Lyle is attracted to Marley, yet feels she's too young and free. But no matter how much distance he puts between himself and Marley, Lila is always there to reunite them!
The Cinnamon Girl
Her name is Anna, but they call her The Cinnamon Girl. The handmade cinnamon candy she sells seems simple enough, yet people swear the candy can heal.
Thomas Merrick believes the cinnamon candy is the only thing keeping him alive from the illness that's consuming his life.
Anna is the only one who knows the truth of the cinnamon candy - and she's not telling her secret.
Time of the Lilacs
Micki Bennett lives a solitary life, spending her time lovingly tending a small graveyard on her property. After a ferocious storm, Micki rescues a lost young woman hiding inside a collapsing crypt.
Cate Cabot has quite a story. She claims that after her family's murder, she was imprisoned in the crypt for over 100 years.
Micki is torn between believing Cate's story is true and whether she is disturbed and has assumed the identity of a long-deceased woman. As the two grow closer, they realize they are more alike than they first thought.
