So, Callie did the only thing she could think of that would make him stay: she cut all ties. Then, all her dreams came crashing down.

Sometimes the biggest success stories aren't found in boardrooms or bank accounts, but around a shared cup of coffee. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, RaeAnne Thayne, and Debbie Mason. (This is part of the Big Dune Island series but can be read as a standalone.) Chloe Beckett has always believed in the magic of community. Raised on Big Dune Island, Chloe found her place in the kitchen of her grandmother's coastal home, where neighbors became family and stories were passed down over cups of coffee. Years later, Island Coffee isn't just a café. It's the heart of Main Street. Locals gather beneath its string lights and mismatched china, sharing morning rituals and lifelong memories. After years of living in her famous brother's shadow, Chloe is stepping into the spotlight-competing on a reality TV show for a prize that could expand her café's legacy to the next town over. However, the competition is fierce with social media superstars and slick MBAs. Chloe knows exactly who she should ask for help-Michael Russo, a New York real estate investor whose world revolves around profits and projections. Her crush on him has gone unnoticed for years, and this is the perfect excuse to spend more time with him. But it's Chloe who begins to rewrite everything he thought he knew about success. Will competing for her dreams finally help Chloe transform from the little sister who needed help into the woman who can stand on her own, both in the eyes of her family and Michael? A story of second chances and beachy charm, Where We Belong is a celebration of community, connection, and the courage it takes to build something that truly matters.
