Lacey Crawford didn't expect to return to Creek Water Bay with a failed catering business and a broken heart. But when her Aunt Nora leaves her the town’s beloved, run-down bakery, Lacey finds herself back in the one place she promised to leave behind. She has sixty days to turn a profit or lose the building to the bank—and the only person who can help her is the man who knows exactly why she left.

Grant Sterling is the local contractor who never left the Bay. He’s spent years building a quiet life, but seeing Lacey back in town stirs up memories he thought were long buried. As they work together to restore the bakery—sanding down old floors and perfecting Nora's famous blueberry scones—the old spark between them begins to flicker back to life. But as the deadline looms, Lacey must decide if she’s just passing through, or if the life she’s been running from is the one she was always meant to lead.
