Single mom and bakery owner Maeve Carpenter wants to create a safe and secure childhood for her nine-year-old daughter. She’s grateful for all her mom’s help, but yearns for a place of her own—and a measure of privacy. What happened to the independent girl who once intended to bake in Paris?
Even though her bakery is profitable, bills are stacking up like puff pastry layers from her daughter’s recent health issues and the fees for the upcoming summer camp that means so much to the little girl.
The situation isn’t helped when a food truck and its handsome owner take up residence outside her shop, captivating her clientele with its novelty. With profits falling like a bad souffle, she’ll have to enter the Strawberry Festival Sweet Spot Baking Contest with its large cash prize that could secure her future.
All she has to do is bake her heart out—without losing her temper at the competition, or her deadbeat ex, or her mother…or falling for the food truck owner’s sweet talk. The last thing she needs is another guy who can’t stick around.
Can she find the sweet spot in all her relationships and create the family life she dreams of?
