Sweet Valley, Tennessee

When the hard truths of my ex-husband were exposed, my world and that of our kids changed forever. We were tossed away like yesterday's trash by the man that was supposed to protect and cherish us. With my life in tatters, I had to stay strong. I had to be the support for my kids. I had to show them that we could rise above, so I did the one that brought me peace—I baked. I never expected to trust a man again, but fate had other plans. The moment he walked into my bakery, everything changed. It wasn't just my life but that of my kids as well. He lifted us from rock bottom and helped us heal.

Nathan Bailey was the one that got away . . . After leaving our hometown for college, he never looked back . . . Ten years later, he walked into my bakery. His sweet-talking is impossible to ignore, but so are the miles between Tennessee and California. The now billionaire tech-mogul always has his eyes set on the next big project, but now they're set on me.
