Strawberry Sundae Delights is a novella that was written to be included in the One Scoop or Two beach read series with The Wild Rose Press. Though short, it presents new characters and a new story set on Sandhill Island.  

Sienna is a single schoolteacher still stinging from the breakup with her fiancé. She works summers in her aunt’s ice cream shop in the tiny tourist town of Sandhill Island. She finds herself infatuated with Jake, a college student from Corpus Christi, who is working on a shrimper for the summer.

            Bob, of Big Bob’s Burgers, wants to buy the aunt’s ice cream shop and put her ice cream in his chain of burger joints.  She refuses and soon suppliers refuse to sell to her.  The shop is running out of everything, especially the strawberries for their world-famous sundaes.  The final straw breaks when the shop is vandalized. But Jake knows where he can find more strawberries.

            This novella continues the stories on Sandhill Island with a new beach read and new characters. It is a story of family, love, and loyalty that Sienna thought she’d lost. 

            The story is short, with new characters, but you will reunite with some old characters you‘ve come to love and others you might not. There is conflict and love enough to go around and I included my mother’s strawberry jam recipe just for fun. It is available in electronic versions, only, and you can find a copy here: https://books2read.com/u/m2R8L1.

            Check out Strawberry Sundae Delights and have some ice cream to go along with it.
