Life Is What You Bake It

Penelope Reynolds is on top of the world.
She's one of the country's most prolific supermodels, lives a life of luxury, and is more famous than she ever could've dreamed of. Everything is perfect - until one phone call changes the trajectory of her life and demands a drive back to Jewel Lake, a place she'd vowed never to return. The plan was to tie up loose ends and finally leave the past behind her, but running into Adam sidetracks everything. He's the little brother of her childhood best friend - and he definitely wasn't so little anymore...

Adam Cromwell is in shock.
Sixteen years ago, Penelope disappeared from his life, leaving nothing but a note behind. So unexpectantly seeing her in Jewel Lake late one night throws his entire world on its axis. He's not ready for the onslaught of memories that overwhelm him - one night in particular that ripped his heart to shreds. Desperate to keep his distance and protect his mended heart, but unable to fight the pull he feels toward her, Adam has to decide if this is fate giving them a second chance... or if some things just aren't meant to be.

No amount of distance or time spent apart could erase the connection they shared. But was it too long to make forgiveness impossible?
