Welcome to Black Wolf’s Bluff, where turning forty doesn’t mean your life is over. It might just mean the spark that can light up everything is right around the corner. He shattered her dreams ten years ago. Claire Taylor’s divorce left her determined to build a new life, and she hoped to do that in New York City. Studying under celebrity chef Lincoln Young at a prestigious pastry school, she couldn’t deny a strong attraction to him despite his obvious disapproval. When an unexpected kiss led to her blacklisting, she returned to Black Wolf’s Bluff with her tail between her legs. But not anymore. Now Claire is a successful baker who owns her main-street store and has a chance at expansion in the town’s new five-star resort—if she can accept working with the man who ruined her chances so long ago. She’s the woman he couldn’t forget. Years have passed since Lincoln last saw Claire, but she is still exquisite. And full of sass. Lincoln remembers that sass, just like he remembers her mouth, her curves, and those dark chocolate eyes he could easily drown in. The difference is, he’s no longer fighting what he feels for her. But until they face the consequences from the secrets in their past, any future they might have together will crumble.
