I left Heron Falls nine years ago with a broken heart and a promise to myself that I’d never come back. But when my grandmother passes away, her final gift changes everything. If I want to keep The Sugar Maple bakery, I have ninety days to reopen it—or I’ll lose it forever to the one man I never stopped loving.
Nine years ago, I walked away from Noah Bennett, convinced I was chasing the future I wanted. Now he’s built a life without me: a successful hardware store, a smart, stubborn daughter who’s the center of his world, and walls around his heart that I put there. The last thing either of us expected was my grandmother’s will to tie our futures together.
Now we have ninety days to save a bakery… and maybe discover whether the love we left behind was ever truly gone.
With a corporate developer threatening the heart of Main Street, an adorable seven-year-old determined to play matchmaker, and a hidden box of letters revealing truths we’ve spent years avoiding, I’m forced to decide whether home is the place I ran from—or the place where my heart has always belonged.
Some doors never really close. Sometimes the hardest journey you’ll ever take… is the one that leads you back home.
