An emotional, slow-burn small-town second-chance billionaire romance with a secret baby, a forced-proximity bakery, and a Pacific Northwest town that decides - once and for all - to keep him.
Wesley Calloway built a four-billion-dollar company on the worst email he ever sent. Ten years ago, broke and terrified at twenty-two, he ghosted June Hadley three weeks before he should have been a father. He's been running ever since.
When his grandmother dies and leaves him the building that houses the failing Sugarbird Bakery, Wes returns to the small Pacific Northwest town of Cedar Hollow with one plan: bulldoze the bakery, settle the estate, and never come back. Thirty days, in and out.
He doesn't expect the bakery to be run by June.
He doesn't expect a nine-year-old girl named Etta with his eyes, his grandmother's eyebrows, and a shoebox full of theories about who her father might be.
And he sure as hell doesn't expect to find himself, every morning at six, washing dishes for the woman he abandoned - a woman who has every right to throw him out, and every reason in the world not to take him back.
Inside this slow-burn small-town billionaire romance:- Billionaire hero who learns to wash dishes
- Single-mom heroine running a small-town bakery

- Second-chance reunited-lovers romance
- Forced proximity in a Pacific Northwest bakery kitchen

- HEA (happily ever after) on page with epilogue
- Steamy heat - emotionally driven, sensual, on-page intimacy
