This was a sweet kind of second chance romance if you count a crush as the first. Nicole is a pastry chef but after her husband passed away she moves back to her parents with her daughter. I liked the romance between Liam her old crush/new boss.
The secret was juicy and hurt her in a way but it all turned out ok.
This was told in dual POV which you know is my fav in romance it helps so much with motivations and feelings the feels.
Love the single parent, blended family, dating love story. There is life and love after failed marriages and death.

Synopsis:
A temporary pit stop…or a forever homecoming?

Aspiring pastry chef Nicole Evans is just waiting to hear about her dream job, and in the meantime, she goes to work in the café at the local bookstore. But that’s before the recently widowed Nicole meets her temporary boss: her first crush, Liam Mendez! Single dad Liam has always kept his life—and his heart—closely guarded from Oak Hollow gossip. Will his simmering attraction to Nicole be just one more thing to hide…or the stuff of his bookstore’s romance novels?
