Sunrise Cafe: The Beginning

The Sunrise Cafe Prequel

I came to Clearwater with a list and a plan—no romance, no surprises, just sunshine and sea turtles. Love? Not even on the list.

Enter Owen Jackson—charming, thoughtful, and the kind of man who makes friendship feel dangerously close to something more.

We promise to keep things simple, just two travelers enjoying the same stretch of beach.

But between early-morning coffee runs, paddleboard disasters, and one almost-kiss that still haunts me, simple gets complicated fast.

He lives in Daytona. I live in Virginia. This was never supposed to last.

But somewhere between the waves and the laughter, I start to wonder—what if the best things in life aren’t planned at all?

Because sometimes love doesn’t ask for permission… it just quietly takes root in your heart.

Do you love clean, wholesome beach romances with laughter, friendship, and swoon-worthy HEAs?
Every story in the Sunrise Cafe Series stands alone, yet together they create a warm coastal world you’ll never want to leave. Start your Clearwater escape today!
