Alan Wyatt's life is simple-early mornings at the bakery, quiet evenings at home, and a future he can almost predict. That is, until Theo Ryder shows up. Theo is rude, distant, and everything Alan can't stand, but their forced time together at the bakery turns their hostility into an unexpected connection. As the walls between them begin to crumble, Alan realizes the truth behind Theo's guarded eyes, he learns that love can grow where it's least expected-and sometimes, it's the things left unsaid that mean the most.
