He falls first She has no idea what she wants She can’t tell he’s flirting with her He has issues She’s damaged She thinks everyone hates her He’s all alone She befriends a lonely and grieving dancer Bookstore shenanigans Old faces and new friends
Kiki never planned to stay in Crystal Water—two nights, max. Just a quick visit to see her sister and then she’d be gone. But fate has other ideas. On the verge of a nasty anxiety attack and all alone on a quiet beach, she meets Antonin, a kind stranger who convinces her to give the sleepy little town a chance.
Haunted by the belief that everyone blames her for the death of her parents, Kiki keeps her heart guarded. But as she settles into life in Crystal Water, she begins to find pieces of herself she thought were lost. She bonds with Fox, the mysterious new baker in town and unknowingly captures the attention of Reese, the gruff flower shop worker with a soft side.
As unexpected friendships bloom and family wounds begin to heal, Kiki starts to wonder if the love she’s been searching for has been right in front of her all along.
Can she let go of the past and embrace the hope of a new beginning—or will tragedy steal it away before she can even have her first kiss?
