Being a baker was my dream job, but my grandfather had other plans. I left Starlight Bay to pursue a career in architecture just like my grandfather wanted and immediately fell in love with city life. When I told my high school sweetheart I never wanted to return to small-town life, he was adamant about staying so I said good-bye and never looked back until a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a bakery popped up—back in Starlight Bay. When my first love inspected my bakery before opening day, I thought he’d shut my business down. Will he forgive me for leaving him? Should I have just stayed in San Francisco?

I’ve never loved anyone as much as my high school sweetheart. When she left Starlight Bay and became a city girl, I was crushed. I pursued my training and career as a Starlight Bay firefighter, keeping my mind off dating, relationships, and her. I moved on, but then she bought the old bakery in town. My plan was to stay away from that bakery at all costs—until I was assigned to inspect her shop and all bets were off. She left me once and I wasn’t going to let her do it again. Hopefully the flame in her heart won’t be extinguished for good.
