Sweet Harmony

An enchanted beach town. A rivalry over frozen treats. And two hearts about to discover the sweetest surprise.

When Magnolia Cove Middle Schools music program is threatened, I do what any dedicated teacher would do: drag a snow cone cart on the beach and declare war on bad budgets. In a town where magic flows as freely as a sea breeze, youd think saving the arts would be easier. But maybe a summer of snow cones will do the trick.

My unexpected opponent? Grant Pierce, whose gleaming magical ice cream cart and too-perfect swirls are stealing all my customers.

I need to save this program—its where kids find their rhythm, their voice, their magic. But with every spat and sideways glance, I find myself noticing more than Grants (infuriatingly) flawless sweets. Theres something beneath that polished surface, something messy, passionate, and… dare I say, sweet.

Hes the last person I should trust with my heart, but as summer heats up and sparks fly, Im starting to wonder if this fight is less about who wins the beach—and more about what were willing to lose for love.
