About this audiobook
Sloane Mercer did not come back to Burlington to be seen.
After a public fall from grace, she wants quiet, not opinions. A small bakery, flour on her hands, and a life she can breathe inside.
The town has other ideas. A fundraiser, a stubborn bakery, and a man named Eli pull her back into connection. Eli is steady, kind, and never asks her to perform for anyone.
As attention builds and a bake off approaches, Sloane must decide whether hiding is really healing, and whether she can be seen without losing herself.
What Sweetens After a Fall is a warm, slow burn romance about boundaries, found family, and learning how to show up again.
