Anara Kittering vowed she’d never return to Kittering Creek.
The charming small town is haunted by painful memories—a tragic accident, a love lost, and a betrayal she can’t forget. But when her aunt offers her the family bakery, Anara reluctantly comes back, hoping to piece her life together and find the independence she’s always craved.
Morgan Properzi has done his best to move on, dedicating himself to his family farm and his younger sister. But Anara’s unexpected return throws his carefully built peace into turmoil. Forced together the undeniable spark between them reignites, but it also resurrects the ghosts of their past—wounds that never fully healed and a betrayal that still cuts deep.
As Anara and Morgan are drawn together once more, the weight of shared grief and guilt threatens to tear them apart. Can they find the courage to face the truth and forgive, or will their second chance at love slip away forever?

I spend much of my days sitting in front of a computer immersed in other worlds with people so real to me that I keep thinking someday they might give me a call and come over for coffee. I know it sounds a bit strange but all of us writers have our quirks.
It's a good life, out here. Other than the swish of the dishwasher (a heavenly sound), the occasional hum of the refrigerator and the click of my keyboard keys, and the sound of my head banging against the desk when words won't obey life here is pretty good. Just the way I like it.
