He's the lawyer sent to help a corporation take her bakery. She's the woman who won't let them. Harper Wynn has spent three years keeping Wynn's Book & Bake exactly what her late fiancé helped her build - local, independent, and stubbornly itself. When a predatory lender starts using a penalty clause to muscle in on operations, the last thing she needs is a corporate attorney arriving in an expensive suit to "help." Graham Price is very good at his job. The problem is that Harper is right, the lender is wrong, and the longer he stays in Sugar Creek, the harder it gets to pretend those two facts don't change everything. She doesn't want to be saved. He's not trying to save her. But somewhere between legal briefs and cinnamon rolls and a town that refuses to mind its own business, they stop fighting the situation - and start fighting for each other. A slow-burn small-town romance about grief, second chances, and the difference between someone who wants to manage your life and someone who wants to stand beside it.
