When The Sun Falls

Alicia Romano returns to her hometown of Sunfalls to settle her late father’s estate—only to come face-to-face with a past she thought she’d left behind. A surprise proposal from her boyfriend in San Francisco is quickly eclipsed by an even more disruptive shock: her first love, Christopher Parker, is living under the same roof.

As old wounds reopen and long-buried feelings resurface, Alicia must choose between the life she built and the love she never truly got over.

    About The Author

    Hi, I’m Camila Hurst

    I’m a cookbook author and romance novel writer. I’ve published Macaron School and Fantastic Filled Cupcakes, and I run the food blog Pies and Tacos, where I share mostly dessert recipes.

    Now I’m also writing romance novels. I’m currently working on the Sunfalls series, a trilogy set in a small town in Massachusetts.

    I created this website to compile all my work as an author in both genres. Think of this space as a cozy bookstore-slash-café. Find a corner or a nook, stay, come back—I’ll always have something sweet waiting for you.

      “Camila Hurst carefully explains everything you need to know to succeed at making macarons. The pictures in the book thoroughly illustrate the techniques involved and are extremely helpful too. These pictures are of pistachio macarons, my very first try and they came out great. Thank you Camila!!!”

    • One of those books you pick up and can’t put back down

      “The love story is so compelling between Ally and Chris, giving you both the flashbacks into the sweetness of their young love and the current day heartache of them not being together years later even though it’s clear they still deeply love each other. The tension and yearning between them is incredible. This book is truly addictive and takes you on an emotional ride that will have you rooting for second chance love the whole way through.”

      “It was an emotional, heart-tugging second chance romance about love lost to secrets, reunited through grief and healed by the truth. It truly emphasized that some kinds of love never fade.”

    • I am grateful for this amazing book!

      As an experienced baker, and macaron maker, I am grateful for this amazing book! The recipes from it are consistent, creative, and easy to follow. Just yesterday I made “Starburst Buttercream” from the book and was pleasantly surprised! It’s a relief to find a book that is executed so well!
