Kate Silver's back in town, and her dead motherjust won't leave her alone.

Kate usually spends her days dressing Hollywood A-listers, but after her estranged mother dies she finds herself elbow-deep in flour in her parents' bakery . . . in Deer Lick, Montana. She thought she'd left small-town life far, far behind, but it seems there are a few loose ends.

The boy she once loved, Deputy Matt Ryan, is single and sexy and still has a thing for her . . . and handcuffs.

Her mother, who won't follow the white light,is determined to give maternal advice from beyondthe grave.

And somehow Kate's three-day stay has, well . . . extended. She never planned to fill her mother's pie-baking shoes—she prefers her Choos, thank you very much. But with the help of a certain man in uniform,Kate quickly learns that sometimes second chancesare all the more sweet.
