Second-chance romance simmers alongside new ambition in this women's fiction saga installment. A love triangle, a thriving new venture and the courage to begin again on a beloved island. Second chances are on the menu at Orchid Island. With her new restaurant thriving, Paisley believes she's finally stepping into her own. But desire is messier than recipes, especially when her heart is torn between the steadfast Noah she can't have and the dashing chef Lex, whose young daughter awakens maternal feelings she never expected. Ivy is thriving, too, with her play in production. Yet every rehearsal with Liam, her first love, tests the fragile line between ambition and passion. And Astrid, lost in guilt over her sister's death, finds herself standing at the edge of new love, if only she's brave enough to claim it. The Orchid Island Restaurant serves up the next unforgettable course in the Orchid Island series, a feast of love, resilience, and the hope of fresh beginnings. Publisher's Note - this title was previously published under the title The Orchid Island Cafe. The Orchid Island Restaurant is book five in the Orchid Island, a romance for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Mary Alice Monroe.
