Overview

Her car broke down in the middle of nowhere. It was the best thing that ever happened to her. Award-winning Chef Charlie Remington fled Nashville with two suitcases and a broken heart, leaving behind an abusive partnership and a restaurant that stole her recipes while crushing her spirit. In tiny Elkmont, Alabama, she bought the abandoned restaurant sight unseen-her last chance to build something that's finally, completely hers. The building is a disaster. Her savings are nearly gone. And her manipulative ex-partner is threatening lawsuits designed to destroy her before she can open the doors. Then there's Robert Tanner. The small-town contractor fixed her radiator when it exploded in Elkmont's only intersection, then kept showing up-patient, steady, and determined to help her rebuild more than just a restaurant. For the first time in years, Charlie wants to let someone in. But trust is terrifying when the last man who said he loved her spent three years tearing her down. When Marcus tracks her down with legal threats and a scheme to steal her property, Charlie faces an impossible choice: surrender the Bluebird Café and run, or stand and fight for her dream, her community, and a love that heals instead of controls. In a town where neighbors are family and broken things are valued for their potential, Charlie discovers that starting over isn't about running away-it's about finally having the courage to stay.

Author Information

Jessy Dur writes small-town romance for readers who believe in second chances and the healing power of community. The Bluebird Café is the author's debut small-town culinary romance novel, inspired by years of living in and traveling through small Southern towns and witnessing how genuine communities show up for their own. The author is fascinated by the way food creates connection, how broken people find their way home, and the courage it takes to start over when everything falls apart. A student of Southern culture and human resilience, Jessy brings authentic warmth to stories about people rebuilding their lives, learning to love without controlling, and towns that refuse to let anyone fail alone. When not writing, Jessy can be found exploring corner cafés, testing baking recipes, and having conversations with strangers who become friends. The author believes the best stories happen at tables where people gather, and that home isn't where you're from-it's where people know your story and love you anyway. Jessy lives in the South, where sweet tea is a food group, Sunday dinners matter, and everyone has a story about the time their car broke down and a stranger changed their life.
