The Bakery On Frostline Street

She came to save a bakery. He came to measure it for demolition. Neither expected to build something permanent.

Lena Brooks has spent her whole life holding things together—for her mother, for herself, for everyone who walked away. When she inherits a dilapidated bakery in Frostline, Alaska, she sees it as her chance to finally build something that lasts. Something no one can take away.

The town disagrees. The roof is collapsing, the oven is dead, and the council wants the building demolished for a parking lot.

Ryan Keller knows all about leaving. A retired NHL defenseman with a shattered knee and sixteen foster homes behind him, he's perfected the art of departure. Blackmailed into helping Lena for three weeks, he plans to escape to Seattle the moment his time is up.

But Frostline has other plans.

As the Alaskan winter deepens, so does an unexpected connection. Anonymous ingredients appear on Lena's porch. A flour fight in a freezing kitchen turns into laughter neither can remember having. Under the northern lights, on a frozen pond, Ryan confesses the career death that still haunts him—and Lena stays, even when he asks her to leave.

When a blizzard collapses the bakery roof and the insurance proves dead, Lena faces losing everything. Again. But this time, she isn't alone. The town arrives with shovels. And Ryan, who turned his truck around forty miles from the airport, chooses to stay.

THE BAKERY ON FROSTLINE STREET is a heartwarming, emotionally rich small-town romance
