BACK

Carrie has seen every Meg Ryan romcom enough times to quote them under stress—which is unfortunate, because her life currently looks less like When Harry Met Sally and more like a deleted scene with debt collectors. She inherited her grandfather’s beloved bakery, along with the memories, the recipes, and the financial disaster no one warned her about. The ovens are failing, the bills are piling up, and the bank is one bad phone call away from taking everything she loves. The last person Carrie expects to save her is Bryan Hudson—her ex-husband, her biggest regret, and the man she has spent years trying very hard to despise. Bryan has money, a plan, and one impossible condition: he’ll rescue the bakery only if Carrie makes him a fifty-fifty partner. Complicating matters? Carrie’s on-again, off-again boyfriend, Ander, is a struggling actor convinced he’s finally on the verge of making it. Now Carrie is rebuilding her grandfather’s dream with one man, dodging mixed signals from another, and realizing real life never follows the romcom rules. Because sometimes the happy ending isn’t the one you’re waiting for—it’s the one you’re brave enough to choose.
