Falling for the Grumpy Baker: A Sweet Small-Town Cozy Romance (Maple Creek Book 1)

By Lyla Jadeborn

She came back to save a bakery...
but found something she never expected.

Emma Carter never planned to return to Maple Creek.
But when she inherits her grandmother's struggling bakery, she has no choice but to face the town-and the memories-she left behind.

Starting over isn't easy.
Especially when the man who owns the building is as cold and unyielding as the winter wind.

Noah Hayes likes his life quiet, simple, and predictable.
No complications. No attachments. No second chances.

But Emma brings chaos, warmth, and something he thought he'd buried a long time ago.

With only thirty days to save the bakery before it's sold, they're forced to work side by side-
and the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore what's growing between them.

Because sometimes...
the sweetest things in life
are the ones you never saw coming.
