Just when Tam Rochester’s dreams of expanding her herb shop and being able to support her daughter are finally coming true, Patrick Butler arrives in town. She wasn’t counting on the single dad’s plans for a bakery right across the street or the competition it’ll bring. Tam’s not afraid to fight for her future, but going toe-to-toe with Patrick would be easier if she didn’t adore his kids—and if she could just ignore her growing feelings for the too-talented baker…

Book Excerpt
I need the bakery to succeed for my children. They need a safe, permanent home.”
Tam’s gaze flickered with something like concern. “I get it. And I wish you luck,” she said with a heavy exhale.
“Thanks. I think.”
She pointed toward The Gracious Earth and the empty real estate beside it. “Do you see that space there? I’ve wanted to sell my own teas for years, and Petals and Pie is the perfect way. It’s going to be a meeting place— the heart of the town, I hope. It’d make my daughter and me more comfortable, that’s for sure, and now’s the time since the photography studio there closed.”
“Times are tough for everybody.” Patrick’s chest tangled with emotions. A tea and pie room across from a bakery. Surely most people would want to sit down with a cup of tea and relax while they ate rather than dash in and out of an old bakery. He would have to do more than repaint. He’d need it to be irresistible. Patrick realized Tam could see the calculations in his eyes and cleared his throat. “I better head over to the school and get Scarlet,” he mumbled.
“I’m right behind you,” she echoed in a companionable tone as she climbed into her car.
Yes, yes you are.
