The Second Loaf

by Margo Quill

When the bakery she inherited starts losing money, Nora hires the brusque ex-pastry-chef nobody else in Hartley Creek will touch. He counts grams; she counts feelings. Neither of them counted on the other. A slow-burn, small-town romance about flour, grief, and the courage to rise twice.
