In the glittering haze of Hollywood, I thought I had it all — fame, fortune, control. But a trip to Maple Creek shattered that illusion. Meeting my grandmother's neighbor, a charming gorgeous small-town baker, changed everything.



What started as a temporary escape from my LA movie premiere turned into something more. Elijah's gaze, intense and magnetic, drew me in like a moth to a flame. Each moment with him pushed me closer to a feeling I'd sworn to avoid.



He's sweet, but it's his protective nature that truly captivates me. With him, I feel shielded from the chaos of the world, free from the constraints of my career.



But just as I dared to believe in our love, his secrets surfaced. Confronted by his sister, Raine, and the truth of my role in his life, everything unraveled.



Do I walk away to protect myself or fight for the love we've discovered, even if it means risking everything?
