From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Adriana Mather comes a heartwarming tale of love, family, and pastry perfection.
Now she finds herself forced to make an impossible decision: give up her father\'s bakery and her lifelong dream, or find a way to coexist with Wilder without murdering him with a cookie cutter..
What Maddi doesn\'t know is that this issue also mysteriously involves the one person she\'s spent forever trying to forget--Wilder.
But at her mother\'s request, she has returned to her hometown to help deal with an urgent matter concerning her father\'s will and his nostalgia-filled bakery.
If she had her way, Maddi would have stayed in California, hiding her head in its beautiful white sands.
But like a fallen soufflé, their relationship imploded, taking their lifelong friendship with it.
They loved each other insatiably.
They baked together.
And for one brilliant moment when they were seventeen, those dreams collided.
Her best friend, Wilder Buenaventura, had his own dream--a life with Maddi.
Ten years ago, all Maddi dreamed of was running her father\'s beloved bakery in their tiny coastal town of Haverberry Cove, Massachusetts.
She recently broke down on a reality TV baking show, letting the entire country know she feels like a colossal failure, and she can be certain her mother will remind her of all the ways she hasn\'t lived up to expectations over the years.
Maddi DeLuca is coming home for the holidays with her nine-year-old son, only it\'s not the triumphant return she might have hoped for.
