One Fine Day

Hearts Bend Collection #1

By Rachel Hauck

 and Carrie Padgett

Chloe LaRue feels at loose ends with her husband's death, leaving her life in Paris behind and returning to her childhood home to help out her mother. She never expected to become the manager and head baker of her hometown bakery. Nor did she expect to be working for her teen love.

Sam Hardy wanted nothing to do with Hearts Bend, his father, or his bad memories, but he is now part-owner of Haven's Bakery and boss to his teenage crush. Add to this that his football career is in jeopardy thanks to his ACL injury, and his life is not where he wants it to be. At least reconnecting with Chloe is an unexpected bonus.

Could this be a second chance at their first love? A chance to move past the pain of the past?

This is a sweet story that you will want to add to your Summer TBR, whether you are enjoying a staycation or one away from your everyday. So take a trip to Hearts Bend, TN, with this new release from Sunrise Publishing. And be sure to have a tasty sweet treat near at hand to satisfy the cravings this book is sure to inspire.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion - all thoughts expressed are my own.

About the Book:

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.
