The Sugar Maple Inn

Grace has spent years brewing lattes in her mother’s café, but when the historic inn on Maple Island goes up for sale, she finally sees her chance to create the cozy escape of her dreams.

She’s determined to win the property for herself and her teen son, Zach. But then she discovers her biggest rival is Reese Spencer, a rugged Canadian billionaire who could outbid her without blinking.

What neither of them knows is that they’ve already been falling for each other online. Grace’s late-night confidant 'WildTrailGuide' and Reese’s favourite mentee 'AutumnDreamsInn87' have been trading business advice—and secret longings—for months.

When a fierce autumn storm strands the two rivals together on Solace Springs’ maple-covered island, rivalry turns to fiery chemistry and hidden identities threaten to change everything.

The Sugar Maple Inn is a steamy, small-town romance perfect for fans of billionaire romance, enemies to lovers, single mum romance, secret identity twists and forced proximity. Cozy fall vibes meet sizzling spice in this unforgettable love story.

Meet the Characters

Grace Sullivan

Grace is a pink-haired single mum with a sharp wit, a stubborn streak and a lifelong dream of owning the Sugar Maple Inn, based on an island just off Solace Springs. She’s spent years working at her mother’s café, but now she’s determined to build something of her own for her son and nothing, not even a billionaire with dimples, will get in her way.

Doris and Clive (eagles)

Guardians of Maple Island, Doris and Clive are the cantankerous pair of bald eagles who’ve ruled the skies above Solace Springs for decades. Fiercely territorial and occasionally known to dive-bomb important figures, they’re as much a part of the island’s legend as the inn itself.

Reese Spencer

Reese is a rugged Canadian billionaire with a restless spirit who's looking for his next property investment. He also has a secret online identity as 'WildTrailGuide', the mentor who’s been cheering Grace on without knowing who she really is. Haunted by past heartbreak, he’s sworn off love. But being stuck on an island during an autumn storm with Grace is about to test his resolve.
