Ten years ago, Amerie Taylor left her small town and the ghosts that haunted her behind. But when a call comes from home-her mother injured and the family bakery hanging by a thread-she finds herself back in Maple Ridge, where the scent of cinnamon rolls is as thick as the memories she tried to forget.
Coming back means facing more than her mother's recovery and the town she once fled-it means facing Wren Callahan. Her first love. Her biggest heartbreak. The boy who knew her best until everything shattered. Now older, quieter, and just as magnetic, Wren is still tangled in the life Amerie left behind-and he's no easier to forget.
As old feelings resurface and long-buried truths begin to rise, Amerie must decide whether some wounds are better left untouched-or if healing might begin with the person she once thought she'd lost forever.
