Dive into Melody Sterling's heartfelt, cosy, clean romance novels that captivate and charm.

Three years ago, Elena and Vivi Hart inherited Holly Lane Books from the parents they had loved and lost. They've kept the lights on, the shelves alive, and the door open through grief, winter, and one rebellious boiler.

Now, the trust their parents had set up is forcing both sisters to face a question they have avoided: do they truly want this life, or did they just step into it out of duty?

Vivi is starting to think there might be another life for her beyond Holly Lane. Elena seems calm, but inside she is unsure how to answer the questions she faces. For three years, both sisters have kept their parents' shop going without really admitting what they want for themselves.

This autumn, the future of Holly Lane Books depends on their decision.

In a season of turning leaves and approaching Christmas, Vivi will face an old face from her past with an unexpected offer, and the man who has loved her for months will give her room to find her own answer. Elena will walk to the carillon with Luke and learn that patience from the people who love us can be one of life’s greatest treasures. Along the lane, at the bakery, at the vet clinic, at the pet shop and at the church, the wider community quietly readies itself for what comes next.

A Promise on Holly Lane is a full novel, offering a deeper look into the characters than the earlier short novellas in the series. Can be read as a standalone, but fans of the series will see all the familiar faces from books 1 through 4.

A clean, small-town, cozy romance. Free with Kindle Unlimited.

This is Book 5 in the Bookshop on Holly Lane series.
