Harper needed to change everything about her life. She made plans, packed up her car and her giant dog Ham, and headed to the last place she felt happy. She’s opening a bakery in Lake Tahoe. There she meets three people who will change her life: 1) her new landlord - a grumpy attractive man struggling to find himself after his job went sideways, 2) Ivy, a teenage girl who left home with secrets of her own, and 3) a reluctant friend who owns the book shop next door.

Together, these three will challenge Harper, force her to expand her horizons, and let go of the past. They will make her want to belong to this charming town. Together, the four of them will create a community.  While Harper struggles at finding joy, it’s never too late to chase happiness.

THE HAPPINESS PLAN is the fourth book in the Sunshine Cove series, but each book can be read as a standalone. This one has all the hallmarks of a Jill Shalvis novel: witty banter, friendship, a loveable dog, and sexy times. You can’t go wrong with one of her books and this one is perfect for summer.

SUMMARY

New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis returns to Sunrise Cove with a beguiling, lighthearted story about fresh starts, second chances and true love.

When Harper Shaw’s life falls apart, she knows it’s time for a change. She removes everything that doesn’t spark joy—from her soul-sucking job to eating kale to making lists—and sets off for the last place she was happy, Lake Tahoe (who wouldn’t feel good there, right?) to fulfill her dream of opening her own bakery.

With her Sugar Pine Bakery in between a tavern, owned by sexy, grumpy Bodie Campbell, and a bookstore, run by her new BFF, she feels a peace she’s never experienced since…well, forever.. Then she meets Ivy, a teenage runaway, who barrels into her heart. She sees a lot of herself in Ivy and takes her under her wing, but the teenager has secrets…

When those secrets explode, it changes Harper’s new world, and she’ll learn, it’s never too late to start over, it’s never too late to figure out your life, and best of all, it’s never too late to let yourself believe in love.
