‘A charming break from reality’ Publishers Weekly


As a world-renowned chef, single dad Archer never planned on moving to a small town, let alone running a pancake restaurant. But Dream Harbor needs a new chef, and Archer needs a community to help raise his daughter, Olive.


Iris has never managed to hold down a job for more than a few months. So when Mayor Kelly suggests Archer is looking for a live-in nanny, she almost runs in the opposite direction.


Now, Iris finds herself in a whole new world. One where her gorgeous new boss lives right across the hall and likes to cook topless… Keeping everything strictly professional should be easy, right?




The Strawberry Patch Pancake House is a cozy romantic mystery with a single dad and found family dynamic, a small-town setting and a HEA guaranteed!
