One grumpy ex-military mountain man. One determined baker. One sweet beginning.
I’m nobody’s hero anymore. Not after everything I saw overseas. Not after everything I lost when I came home.
Now I’m just trying to keep my head down in this nowhere mountain town, crashing in the apartment over some bakery until I figure out my next move.
Then Grace, singing off key at the crack of dawn, covered in flour, and smiling like the world hasn’t already tried to break her comes barreling into my life.
She’s rebuilding her life from the ground up, just like I’m trying to do. But when some developer tries to buy her out and bulldoze the place, I can’t stay on the sidelines.
She deserves to feel safe. To feel wanted. To know someone’s in her corner.
She’s the first good thing I’ve seen in years. The last thing I deserve.
And I’ll burn the whole damn town down before I let anyone take her new beginning away from her.
