The Cinnamon Bun Book Store (Dream Harbor) (Book 2) by Laurie Gilmore

A bookstore that smells like cinnamon buns, a trail of secret messages hidden in the pages, and a small-town scavenger hunt that turns into something way steamier than Hazel planned. The Cinnamon Bun Book Store is peak Dream Harbor: cozy, charming, a little mysterious—and full of that “community + chemistry” comfort-read magic.

When Hazel finds a coded message tucked inside a book at the Cinnamon Bun Bookstore, she can’t make sense of it—until more secret clues start appearing between the pages. Determined to follow the trail, she just needs a partner-in-crime.

Enter Noah: gorgeous, outgoing fisherman, always down for an adventure—and he’s been crushing on Hazel for months. A treasure hunt around Dream Harbor with the cute bookseller? Say less. As the clues lead them all over town, Hazel realizes she didn’t go looking for romance… but Noah (and their undeniable chemistry) might be the best discovery of all.
