A rock star. A small-town baker. A grandmother’s stroke. A hotel-fire secret.
Wren Holloway — bakery owner
She wants stability, control, and a life that does not depend on the man who left.
She cannot afford to let Ryker Vance walk back into her bakery, her bed, or her heart like ten years never happened.
Ryker Vance — frontman of Ashfall Saints
He wants to protect his grandmother, face the truth, and find his way back to the only woman who ever knew him before the fame.
He cannot outrun the fire, the headlines, or the silence that cost him Wren the first time.
They are on a collision course between old love and public scandal. The clock is ticking as Page Six headlines, FBI questions, label pressure, and Cinder Hollow gossip drag Ryker’s buried past into the open—and Wren has to decide whether loving him again is worth becoming collateral damage.
Steamy chemistry. Deep emotional intimacy. A wounded rockstar who has to earn trust by staying. A guarded heroine who refuses to be another secret. A hard-won happily ever after built on truth, home, and choosing each other when leaving would be easier.
