The Brick House Cafe

Welcome to Haven Ridge, Colorado-a fading town that might just have a little magic left...Travel writer Mallory Adams accepted her latest assignment on the mountain towns of southern Colorado in the hopes it would offer an escape from all the recent failures in her life-quitting her history graduate studies, losing her apartment, being dumped by her boyfriend for another woman. So when a series of mishaps lands her in the dying town of Haven Ridge, it feels more like a punishment than an opportunity.Thomas Rivas returned home after a personal tragedy to find Haven Ridge much diminished. But when a plucky and beautiful writer blows into his family's cafe-something that his mystic-minded Granny Pearl claims is no accident-it seems like the chance to put the town back on the map. Soon Thomas makes it his mission to make Mallory fall in love with Haven Ridge and its fascinating, forgotten past-he just doesn't expect to lose his own heart in the bargain.With its quirky cast of characters, sweet love-after-loss romance, and small-town mystery, The Brick House Cafe reminds us that it's never too late to believe in the magic of second chances.
