All she wants is a fresh start...
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.
He's not looking to fall in love...
Tennessee Titans quarterback Sam Hardy has too many broken memories in Hearts Bend to Return. But when he’s sidelined by an injury, he desperately needs to invest in something to safeguard his future. Haven’s Bakery is up for sale—and his business partner believes the deal is too good to pass up. He has no idea that the owners have hired the one girl he can’t seem to forget…and the last thing he expects is to be her boss.
But it’s a recipe for romance…
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?
Escape to Hearts Bend for a sweet story of romance, faith, and an unexpected happy ending.

My Thoughts
Small southern towns wouldn't be what they are without football and the favorite bakery on main street offering delectable goodies. This is what Hearts Bend, TN is and it was so much fun returning to this charming little town with cherished old characters and meeting new ones.
Chloe brought a little bit of Parie' to this little town, amidst her overwhelming grief at the devastating loss of her husband.
Sam was struggling in both body and spirit, with a football injury and being estranged from his father.
Watching Sam and Chloe's journey to wholeness is what makes a Rachel Hauck story so endearing.
Congratulations to Carrie Padgett on her first publishing achievement with Sunrise Publishing! She did an absolutely fabulous job writing a story that any Hearts Bend fan would love.
This is an absolute must-read for all Rom-Com fans, and Hearts Bend fans!
