Adeline Reed had always wanted to travel the world. Growing up in a family of bakers, cooking was in her blood, and learning different technique and secrets while traveling the globe was her dream. Just graduating from New York City's Institute of Culinary Education, she was completely ready to backpack her way across the world and learn recipes from the natives themselves. Her dream was set in stone, until, one fateful night, it wasn't anymore. Her parents' death leaves Adeline with the family owned bakery that has been passed down through generations of Reeds, and a responsibility she can't refuse. It's hard enough to stay afloat in the heart of New York City, but a small bakery surrounded by franchise after franchise, and increasing pressure from businesses to sell out her property, it make her job even harder. Then comes Cade Callaway, a big business man himself, storming into her life, his stubbornness and persistence only a preview of what to come. With an impossible deal she can't refuse, she is thrown into a whole lot of complications she never would have seen coming.

|| Featured FREE story with exclusive paid chapters - previously a paid story || When Haley discovers the truth behind Xavier, whose silence holds a deeper meaning, she sets her mind on making his life better one small step at a time. ***** Haley Rosamond is happy with her simple life, content under the wing of her father. Well-protected, she has no idea of the darkness surrounding Xavier Hunt, with his all-black attire and infrequent presence in school-accompanied by his bruises and scars. That is, until Haley catches a glimpse of Xavier's reality and is made to question everything she knows about family and life in general. The truth, she realizes, couldn't be more different from everything she has heard. Supported by her father, Haley sets her mind on helping Xavier any way she can, and what begins with tutoring sessions, free food, and random acts of kindness blooms into friendship and something a little more. But when Haley's admission into her dream college and another tragedy in Xavier's life threaten to undo everything she has worked for, Haley needs to decide if she'll stick by Xavier or simply be another person in his life that disappears.
