Magnolia Cove Magic

An enchanted beach town. A rivalry over frozen treats. And two hearts about to discover the sweetest surprise.When Magnolia Cove Middle School's music program is threatened, I do what any dedicated teacher would do: drag a snow cone cart on the beach and declare war on bad budgets. In a town where magic flows as freely as a sea breeze, you'd think saving the arts would be easier. But maybe a summer of snow cones will do the trick.My unexpected opponent? Grant Pierce, whose gleaming magical ice cream cart and too-perfect swirls are stealing all my customers.I need to save this program-it's where kids find their rhythm, their voice, their magic. But with every spat and sideways glance, I find myself noticing more than Grant's (infuriatingly) flawless sweets. There's something beneath that polished surface, something messy, passionate, and… dare I say, sweet.He's the last person I should trust with my heart, but as summer heats up and sparks fly, I'm starting to wonder if this fight is less about who wins the beach-and more about what we're willing to lose for love.
