My best friend is back. After fifteen years of no visits, phone calls, or even a text, and Scott Brandonson is back. And he's standing in my bakery!

When Scott walks through Lauren's bakery doors looking better than ever, with his broad shoulders and bright blue eyes, and his charming smile, it's all she can do not to throw herself into his arms.

And then her name comes out of his oh-so kissable mouth.

The crush Lauren had back in high school when she tagged along during his exploits? The crush fated to never go anywhere? The crush that might have taken her thousands of hours and hundreds of romcoms to get over?

Well, it's back. And her resistance to Scott's charm is out the door like her day-old cupcakes.

Despite the hours they spend together in and out of her bakery, and the way he looks at her as though she's the only woman in the world, she can't let him get close.

He isn't staying. And she can't survive Scott walking away for a second time.
