The Beekeeper's Ball: Bella Vista Chronicles Book 2

Read The Beekeeper's Ball: Bella Vista Chronicles Book 2 Storyline:

Isabel Johansen, a celebrated chef who grew up in the sleepy Sonoma town of
Archangel, is transforming her childhood home into a destination cooking school—a unique
place for other dreamers to come and learn the culinary arts. Bella Vista’s rambling
mission-style hacienda, with its working apple orchards, bountiful gardens and beehives,
is the idyllic venue for Isabel’s project…and the perfect place for her to forget the
past. But Isabel’s carefully ordered plans begin to go awry when swaggering, war-torn
journalist Cormac O’Neill arrives to dig up old history. He’s always been better at
exposing the lives of others than showing his own closely guarded heart, but the
pleasures of small-town life and the searing sensuality of Isabel’s kitchen coax him
into revealing a few truths of his own. The dreamy sweetness of summer is the perfect
time of year for a grand family wedding and the enchanting Beekeeper’s Ball, bringing
emotions to a head in a story where the past and present collide to create an unexpected
new future. From “one of the best observers of stories of the heart” (Salem
Statesman-Journal), The Beekeeper’s Ball is an exquisite and richly imagined novel of
the secrets that keep us from finding our way, the ties binding us to family and home,
and the indelible imprint love can make on the human heart.
