Maddie Baker, disgraced celebrity food critic, is forced to return to the small town she couldn't wait to leave. James is an ex-con looking for a new start in her family's bakery.
While working together to keep the bakery going amid the staff's personal setbacks and a rival business's threats, the two grow close, but James has been told to keep his past secret so Maddie, still healing from wounds caused by the last man she'd made a mistake in trusting, won't send him packing without giving him the second chance he desperately needs.
Both have been burned, but together they might just create something beautiful...if they can let go of the past.
