Élodie Vasseur had never set foot in Belle-Anse. But when she inherits her great-aunt Solange's dusty little café on this small Breton harbor, she finally sees a way out — away from Paris, away from the betrayal that just shattered her life.

Saving Le Phare Doux won't be easy. The bank sends Nathan Ferrand, a cold, methodical consultant, to decide whether the café deserves to be saved or sold. Between Nathan's spreadsheets and Élodie's stubborn heart, everything seems to set them apart — and yet, as the café slowly comes back to life, so does something neither of them expected.

Between Solange's old journals, a rival turned friend, a spring storm, and a buyout offer that could change everything, Élodie will have to choose between the safety of the sensible and the courage to truly love — a village, a life, a man she never saw coming.

A feel-good novel about second chances, the courage to stay true to yourself, and love that grows quietly in the salt air of a Breton harbor.
