He sees through her walls. She's afraid to let him in. But some secrets are worth the risk.

Levi Barrett has finally grown up enough to open his dream bakery—but not enough to handle the paperwork. Enter Claire, the island's newest resident with a gift for numbers and a talent for avoiding personal questions.

Claire isn't just hiding her identity—she's running from a murderer whose associates are still hunting for her. Working for the charming baker with flour in his hair and dreams bigger than his business sense was supposed to be a temporary cover. But Levi's world of sugar and second chances is dangerously tempting for a woman whose testimony will put a killer behind bars.

When her past catches up and her cover is blown, Claire will have to choose between the safe path her family expects—returning home to fix their failing business—or taking the biggest risk of all: trusting her heart and fighting for a love that could finally set her free.
