One Morning on Maple Street

A heartwarming, 10-minute small-town romance—free to download.

When New Orleans event planner Eva Hart returns to Maple Ridge to settle her great-uncle’s estate, she expects signatures, not surprises. But inside the Maple Street Bookshop & Café, the air still smells like cinnamon and home—and her first love walks in carrying a burlap sack of freshly roasted coffee beans.

One sputtering espresso machine, a mischievous shop cat, and a handful of nosy regulars later, Eva finds herself swept into a morning she didn’t plan for—and a spark she thought she’d left behind.

One Morning on Maple Street is a clean, cozy, small-town meet-cute from Briar Skye, filled with cinnamon scones, second chances, and the quiet magic of coming home.
