The Beekeeper's Secret: A FREE Clean Later in Life Beach Romance

Benjamin Barns never expected to trade in skyscrapers and city noise for the gentle hum of bees and the scent of salt-kissed air, but Honeysuckle Cove had a way of latching onto a man’s heart. He just wanted to be left alone, tending his hives and enjoying his hard-earned retirement. No drama. No entanglements. And certainly no love.

Enter Aloria Rose—florist, free spirit, and the kind of woman who could probably talk a sunflower into blooming in the dead of winter. With her infectious laughter and unshakable optimism, she turns Benjamin’s carefully structured world upside down.

He’s grumpy. She’s sunshine. He prefers bees to people. She insists he needs a little more color in his life (and maybe a few petunias). And, against all odds, something unexpected begins to bloom between them.

But when Benjamin’s past comes knocking—threatening the peace he’s built—he has a choice to make: retreat into the quiet safety of his beekeeping, or risk everything for a love sweeter than honey.

The Sweet Honey by the Sea series is a heartwarming romance about second chances, small-town charm, and the surprising ways love finds us—even when we’re not looking.

For the best reading experience, the books in this sweet romance series should be read in order. For fans of Sage Parker, Grace Meyers and Ivory Fields, this is a clean romantic story with a guaranteed happily ever after. Like all Kayla’s sweet romance books, it’s clean with no cursing. Enjoy!
