Home Sweet Home (Shirlee McCoy) Books in Order

Home Sweet Home returns to Benevolence, Washington, but it trades law enforcement stakes for family business drama, old hurts, and the slow work of letting yourself be known. The series centers on the Lamont sisters and Chocolate Haven, the family chocolate shop that sits at the heart of the town.

That shop is more than a backdrop. It is where duty, memory, and possibility keep colliding. Each book follows a different sister as she tries to figure out what home really means, whether that means staying put, changing direction, reopening herself to love, or finally admitting that she cannot do everything alone.

Chocolate helps, but it does not solve everything.

McCoy writes Benevolence as the kind of town that can feel comforting or crowded depending on the day. Friends are close. So are opinions. Characters have to face the past in public, which gives the romances a little more friction than a cozy setup might suggest.

If you like contemporary series built around sisters, small businesses, and second chances, Home Sweet Home is very easy to settle into. It keeps the warmth of McCoy's town fiction while giving each sister enough baggage and personality to make her story feel distinct.
