Claire Thompson never planned to stay in Willow Creek. The bustling city had been her escape, her future. But when she returns to settle her grandmother's estate, she finds herself standing inside the worn walls of Thompson's Bakery, surrounded by memories and the weight of choices she thought she left behind.
The bakery isn't the only thing that needs rebuilding. Ethan Walker, the boy she once loved and the man she walked away from, is still here steadier, stronger and just as infuriating as ever. Their history is as messy as flour on the counter, marked by old arguments and the sting of betrayal. Now, with the town watching and gossip swirling, Claire and Ethan are forced into each other's orbit once more.
As renovations spark fiery debates and unexpected laughter, the line between rivalry and desire blurs. Every argument over light fixtures or recipes threatens to ignite something deeper. In a town where everyone remembers their past, Claire must decide if she's ready to claim a future, not just for the bakery, but for herself, and possibly, with Ethan.
Warm, heartfelt and brimming with small-town charm, When Sparks Fly is a story of second chances, stubborn hearts and the undeniable pull of love that refuses to burn out.
