The Bakery on Harbor Walk
About this ebook
Henry Sheehan is sixty-six years old. He was Margaret's husband for the long quiet middle of his life, and he was a good one. He has been a widower for four years. He has walked past Cora's bakery window twice a week for thirty-eight years. He has been carrying a small folded letter in the inside pocket of his coat that his late wife wrote him in her last week, telling him, gently, that when she was gone, he was to go to Cora. He has, finally, walked through the door.
This is the story of a fifty-year deferred love. The slow patient way. The closed-door way. The small careful gestures of a small coastal town that has been keeping a chair warm for both of them, all along, without their knowing. A sweeping, later-in-life soulmate reunion about second chances at sixty, devoted widowers who fall first and harder, and the kind of love that does not, in fact, end, but finds a new pair of hands.
Set in the same world as The Last Light Between Us. Stand-alone reading order. Tissues recommended.

About the author
Alina Rose writes deeply emotional, closed-door small-town romances about soulmate connections, second chances, and devoted heroes who fall first and never stop falling. She is the author of the Stillwater Cove series, beginning with The Last Light Between Us, a sweeping reunion love story about a lighthouse keeper who waited eight years and the woman who finally walked back up the cliff, and continuing with The Bakery on Harbor Walk, a later-in-life love story about a widower who walks through a bakery door at four fifty-three in the morning with a single white winter rose. Her books are clean, wholesome, and heart-melting, written for readers who love quiet grand gestures, slow burns, and love stories that heal the deepest parts of the heart. Alina lives by the sea, drinks her tea too sweet, and believes the lamp is always worth lighting.
