Tea, Scones and a Side of Love

Friends to Lovers Story

By: Nancy Flores

Narrated by: Alisa Smith

Isla’s life is as comforting and predictable as the warm scones and fragrant teas she serves daily at The Cozy Corner, her beloved tea shop nestled in the heart of Willowbrook. She’s crafted a peaceful life filled with the friendly faces of her small town and has long put aside any thoughts of romance—until James walks through her door.

James is a fast-paced city executive with little patience for small-town life… or so he thought. Sent to Willowbrook for business, he finds himself enchanted by the town's charm and Isla herself. Her warm smile and steady presence make him question the life he’s built in the city. Despite their undeniable connection, the differences in their worlds—and the tug of James’s high-powered life—threaten to pull them apart.

As they navigate a blossoming romance amidst misunderstandings, meddling locals, and a few unexpected twists, Isla and James must ask themselves: can love bridge the gap between two very different worlds? Or will they be forced to choose between the lives they've known and the love they’ve found?

Tea, Scones, and a Side of Love is a heartwarming story about finding unexpected love, embracing life’s imperfect moments, and discovering that sometimes, the perfect recipe for happiness is just around the corner.
