Never Let You Go: A small town, single dad romance

HEARTFELT *** STEAMY *** WHOLESOME

He’s a small-town baker devoted to his daughter. I’m his accidental apprentice with no knack for baking.

Working for him never should have led to his bedroom.

I swear I meant to keep things professional with Christopher–my boss for the next few months. It’s not my fault his talents extend far beyond the bakehouse, and our bedrooms are connected by a secret passage. Or that his little girl reminds me so much of myself.

I took this apprenticeship in Vermont to satisfy the terms of my grandmother’s will. Become a baker, and I’ll inherit her baking empire. So what if she’s the person Christopher hates the most? I wasn’t a fan either, and he doesn’t need to know. She was the only family I had, and continuing her legacy is my only way to belong somewhere.

But as time goes by, Christopher and I grow closer. For the first time, I feel seen as he encourages me to pursue my true passions. For the first time in a long time, I feel loved. By him, by his daughter, and by this town and my new friends who’ve made me one of their own.

What if the strongest families weren’t always the ones you were born into? I feel at home here, and I can’t imagine going back to my former life. As our relationship deepens, I wonder if Christopher senses the secret I can’t bring myself to reveal to him, or if the bond we’re forming will be strong enough to survive the truth.

Can he ever forgive my initial deception?

The first book in the Emerald Creek series, Never Let You Go is a dual POV standalone romance, with no cliffhanger, and a happily-ever-after.
