The Bakery on the River
She left everything to save her grandmother's bakery. He walked through the fire.
Clara Beaulieu traded Toronto and a broken engagement for 4 AM shifts at her grandmother's bakery in Millhaven, Maine. Two years later, she's surviving on coffee and stubbornness.
Then her kitchen catches fire. The firefighter who kicks down her door? Jack Thibodeau. Six-two, steady hands, the kind of man who makes you forget you swore off depending on anyone.
He puts out the fire. Can't undo the damage.
The bakery's shut down. Clara's too proud for help. Jack makes a deal: he'll rebuild her kitchen if she teaches him to bake. She knows it's charity. Takes it anyway.
They fight over walls. Argue about sourdough. The town watches. And somewhere between the sawdust and rising dough, they fall.
But Clara's hiding something. A developer wants the bakery building. Real money. Enough to solve everything or erase her grandmother's legacy.
Jack's hiding too. The fire chief job would root him here permanently. In a town he never chose, just never left.
Contains: A firefighter who notices when you skip meals. A baker with trust issues. Small-town gossip. Open-door scenes hot enough to set off smoke detectors.
Yellowstone meets Hallmark. With the door wide open.
