The Jonathon Island series is created by USA Today bestselling, award-winning author Susan May Warren.

Two rival families. One historic fudge shop. And a second chance at love neither saw coming.

All Lily Hart wants is to prove she’s not the failure everyone thinks she is. After a series of setbacks—including failing out of business school and losing her dream apprenticeship—Lily returns to Jonathon Island with one goal in mind: save her family’s 74-year-old fudge shop and finally show the world she’s a capable businesswoman. The island is starting to bounce back, and Lily’s determined to be part of its revival. But when she arrives, she finds a major problem: her former high school sweetheart, Declan Kelley, is back too—and he’s claiming the shop for his family.

The Harts and Kelleys have been bitter rivals for nearly fifty years, ever since Declan’s grandfather started his own competing fudge shop. Declan’s return isn’t just about family pride, though. He’s here to save his grandmother’s house from foreclosure, and reopening the Kelley fudge shop is the only way to do it.

With the lease in dispute, Lily and Declan strike a deal: whoever sells the most fudge in one month gets the shop. Forced to share the space, sparks—and old feelings—begin to fly. Lily’s creative flair and Declan’s business acumen might just be the perfect recipe for success…if they can stop fighting long enough to realize it.

But with Declan’s future in Chicago and Lily’s heart set on staying, can they truly find a way back to each other? Or will their families’ long-standing feud—and their own desires—pull them apart for good?

Sweet, swoony, and full of heart, this is the story of two people discovering that sometimes, love is the sweetest thing of all.
