The Pumpkin Spice Cafe (Dream Harbour Series) with author Laurie Gilmore

Loading player...
Christmas in South Africa will never be snowy and white, but if your preferred genre is a cosy romance, this is the time to get stuck into some seasonal spice.

And, if numbers are anything to go by, this year’s TikTok Shop Book of the Year is bound to scratch the itch for romance fans.

Join The Great Equalizer's Sam Herbst as she chats with author Melissa McTernan (who writes her Dream Harbor novels under the name Laurie Gilmore) about the specifics of her genre – and her rising success in cosy romance.

Readers worldwide have been flocking to grab The Pumpkin Spice Café – the first instalment in the Dream Harbor series written by No. 1 Sunday Times and USA Today-bestselling author Laurie Gilmore (the pen name of US writer Melissa McTernan).

Published by One More Chapter, an imprint of Harper Collins, the Dream Harbor series is a warm hug between two covers, and exactly the kind of comfort read hunted down by contemporary romance readers.
