Book Description
She was running from a monster when she stumbled into Maple Creek.
Lily Chen thought she'd found the perfect hiding place—a small-town bakery where no one asked questions. Until Detective Ethan Cole walked through her door, all sharp edges and cold eyes, with a five-year-old daughter who decided Lily was going to be her new mommy.
He was investigating a case. She was the witness he was looking for.
But somewhere between flour-dusted apologies and midnight baking sessions, the lines blurred. His daughter's laughter. His rare smiles. The way he looked at her like she was something worth protecting.
Then her past caught up. And Ethan had to choose: his badge or the woman his daughter—and his heart—had already claimed.
*Some families are born. Others are baked with love.*
