Falling in love isn't on Lena Buckley's to-do list. She's lost her bakery, her marriage, and-after three years of caregiving-her mom. With grief worsening her anxiety disorder and her family home falling apart around her, all she wants is to start over-somewhere else. Stuck clearing out her parents' farm for now, she clings to the mantra that helped while caring for her mom: make one thing better. By calming her anxiety and returning to what she loves-baking for others-Lena glimpses a second chance at the life she wants-if she can get it.
Ben Wright knows about second chances. A disabled veteran turned police officer, he's fought his own battles and carries scars mostly hidden behind his tough-guy demeanor. He's hard to read and not one for chitchat, but when fate brings them together, they connect over the one thing they share-brokenness. As the 2020 pandemic shuts the world down, love sneaks in through their unique but endearing friendship.
Lena knows falling in love is a bad idea-she's better off alone. But Ben's quiet understanding brings her the comfort she's been missing. When everything unravels again and her anxiety takes hold, Lena faces a familiar struggle: will she trust in the woman she's become-or let the past keep her from dreaming something better?
Set during the 2020 pandemic, this heartwarming, slow burn romance follows two wounded people finding love in uncertain times.
