He was the last man she expected. She was the last reason he’d ever stay.

Charlotte Montgomery thought she was getting engaged. She got passed over — for the rockstar Parisian pastry chef her almost-fiancé hired instead of promoting her. So she does the most impulsive thing she has ever done in her thirty-one perfectly-piped years. She buys a ticket to Maple Lake. Five minutes after she walks into the town square, she throws ten dollars into a stranger’s coffee cup.

He isn’t homeless. He’s the contractor her aunt and uncle just hired to renovate the family bakery — one quiet financial crisis away from closing for good.

Wes Donovan came home for two weeks. Long enough to meet his niece, settle a few things with the woodshop, and remember why he keeps choosing disaster sites in Florida over the Minnesota town he’s been running from since he was eighteen.

She’d been running toward somewhere she’d belong for ten years. He’d been running away from the only place he ever had. Two plane tickets. Two weeks. And one Maple Lake bakery about to remind them both what home actually feels like.

A forced-collaboration small-town romance from rising romance author Alyssa Schwarz. Falling for Flannel, Book Three.
