A second chance for a first love...

Chloe Beason LaRue left Hearts Bend after high school, determined to never look back. She shed her unrequited crush on Sam Hardy, moved to Paris, went to pastry school, found a good job, fell in love, and got married. She was happy in France. Then her husband tragically died. Now, Chloe just wants to move forward...but when her mom's health is in jeopardy, Chloe heads right back to Hearts Bend where she's hired as head baker for Haven's, the premier bakery in town. She has no idea that moving home will push her right into the arms of the man who broke her heart.

Nashville Titans quarterback Sam Hardy has left Hearts Bend and not looked back. He has too many broken memories. But when he's sidelined by an injury, he desperately needs to invest in something to safeguard his future.

Back in Hearts Bend for the first time in ten years and thrown together at Haven's Bakery, Chloe and Sam have a second chance at first love. Indeed, the more time Sam spends selling pastries, the more he sees a new future. But when Paris beckons Chloe back, where does her heart belong? Can they find the recipe for leaving regrets behind and start something new?
