A steamy small-town second chance romance about meddlesome matchmakers, legendary bridges, and the passion that refuses to fade after a decade apart.

Maya Harper returns to June Springs to revive her grandmother's failing bakery and care for the woman who raised her, only to crash—literally—into the arms of Tom Gallagher. Her high school sweetheart. The man she left behind. The one mistake that still haunts her dreams.

Tom Gallagher has spent a decade perfecting the art of quiet fixes and forgotten heartaches, swearing off the girl who fled for city lights without looking back. Now she's standing in front of him covered in flour and frosting from a chaotic cake delivery, adamant she doesn't need help with her grandmother's ancient oven, and every carefully built wall starts crumbling like day-old cookies.

When the town volunteers them as the poster couple for the bridge restoration fundraiser, they can't deny the electric pull that still crackles between them. Stolen touches amid paint samples and power tools. Heated banter that ends with her pinned against the workbench. Storm-soaked confessions that dredge up the past and ignite something dangerously real.

But when Tom overhears half a phone conversation and assumes Maya's planning to leave again, they'll both have to decide if love is worth fighting for—or if some hearts are too broken to mend.

A small-town exes-to-lovers romance with forced proximity sparks, high-heat hookups, and a hard-won happily ever after worth every broken promise.
