A Contemporary Small-Town Second-Chance Romance NovelBy Sunny Mak
Length8h 33m
About this audiobook
When architect Emma Thompson inherits her grandmother’s beloved bakery in the sleepy town of Willow Creek, Oregon, she expects a quick sale and a swift return to her high-powered New York life. What she doesn’t expect is $80,000 in hidden debt, a three-month clause forcing her to oversee the renovation… or the one man she swore she’d never face again.
Jake Harlan is Willow Creek’s gruff, ridiculously handsome contractor—and the high-school sweetheart Emma abandoned without a goodbye twelve years earlier. Now he is a single dad raising his eight-year-old daughter, Lily. Jake has spent years building walls around his heart. But when he’s hired to restore the crumbling bakery, those walls start to crack.
As Emma and Jake tear down more than just old plaster, long-buried secrets surface, sparks reignite into white-hot chemistry, and Lily launches her own adorable matchmaking campaign. But a ruthless developer is circling the property with a deal that could solve all Emma’s problems.
