With her dad always on the road as a truck driver and her mom wrapped up in handling her other two siblings, Gen is perfectly content spending her time with her group of friends. Especially Vale Morgan, her lifelong bestie who practically lives for Gen's incredible pastry making abilities. Being a pastry chef is all she's ever wanted to do with her life, and she's just been given the opportunity to attend a semester long pastry arts program in Boston. But the program costs $20,000. Unable to pay the tuition costs, Gen begins bartering to raise money to attend this semester long program. A place where she might finally feel visible. But in trying to be seen, will Gen miss out on the one person who's seen her all along?

Emily, a shy American girl, moves to the Amish community in Buffalo, Missouri, where she meets Jacob, a handsome Amish cowboy, at a local grocery store. They begin exchanging heartfelt letters under an old red bud tree, with Jacob teaching Emily Pennsylvania Deitsch. Emily's baking skills, especially her cinnamon rolls and pecan pie, win over Jacob's family and the community. They celebrate their first anniversary with traditional Amish customs, surrounded by love and support from their community. Their journey is marked by faith, love, and the joy of finding a true home in each other. Jacob and Emily's twins, a boy named Ethan, and a girl named Lily, brought even more joy and love into their lives. Each child had a unique personality that complemented their parents and enriched their family dynamic. Ethan was a curious and adventurous boy, always eager to explore the world around him. He inherited Jacob's love for animals and the outdoors, often spending hours playing with the farm animals and helping with chores. Ethan had a natural talent for building things, much like his father, and he loved working alongside Jacob on various projects around the farmhouse. His inquisitive nature and boundless energy kept everyone on their toes, and his laughter was a constant source of happiness. Lily, on the other hand, was gentle and thoughtful, with a deep love for books and stories. She shared Emily's shyness but had a quiet confidence that shone through in her creative pursuits. Lily loved to sit with Emily in the kitchen, learning to bake and listening to stories about their family's journey. She had a talent for drawing and often filled the farmhouse with her beautiful artwork, capturing the serene landscapes and moments of their life in Hiroshima. Lily's compassionate nature made her a beloved friend to everyone in the community.

❦ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇᴅ❦ "Why on earth would I stalk you?" He cocks a brow at me. This cocky fucker. "How would I know?" This conversation is getting nowhere. It only exhausted and annoyed me. "You should have checked the road properly before exhibiting the activity you were doing." His conceited tone and expression gives out no apologetic form. The nerves of this guy. "You should be the one apologizing for almost making me a murderer." He gestures his fingers to me. I scoff sarcastically. I'm not gonna give him the satisfaction of letting his words anger me any further and cause an unnecessary reaction. "You know what? I was actually thinking you'll be at least decent enough to apologise but I was wrong." I state calmly to him with a shrug. He doesn't reply but a flash of hurt runs through his eyes. I had nothing more to say. I turn around and started making my way back to my car. I don't spare him another glance before pulling out of the driveway. He may look like a forbidden creature, that can cause unholy thoughts to occur in someone's mind and body but I feel no effect, cause he's a total asshole. I guess people here are not as nice as I thought. ~~~~~~~~~~ After Skylar decided to start off on her own with the intention of leaving everything behind and starting over, she had no idea that decision will come with too many surprises. Not only did she begin reliving her past, but she comes face to face with it when she met Weston Whyte. •Ranks• #1 in Sumt #1 in Amusement #1 in Past-trauma #1 in Skylar #1 in Rider #1 in Adult-content #2 in Cheesecake #3 in Strangers to lovers
