The Cinammon Roll Truce
(2025)(Book 13 in the Silver Ridge Daily Story series)
A Story by June Wilder
He traded fifty acres of freedom for her childhood home. Now, he wants the one thing she promised never to give him again: a second chance.
Betty Jo is the "General." For forty years, she has run the Riverton General Store with a spine of steel and a heart like a closed ledger. She has no time for gossip, no patience for disorder, and absolutely no room for Beau Risley—the man who broke her heart in 1984 and drove out of town without looking back.
But the past has a way of walking through the front door.
Beau is back. He’s traded his drifter lifestyle for roots, shocking the town by buying Betty Jo’s family home. When he walks into her store, looking for the famous cinnamon rolls that taste like their lost summer, the truce they strike is as fragile as a pastry crust.
Over coffee and burnt sugar, secrets buried for decades come to light. Betty Jo realizes that the story she’s told herself for forty years might be a lie. Now, a handwritten note on a napkin offers her an ultimatum: meet him at the bridge at sunset, just like they planned a lifetime ago.
Betty Jo has spent a lifetime building walls. Does she have the courage to walk out the door and let them crumble?
A heartwarming, emotional "later-in-life" romance about forgiveness, the lies we tell to protect ourselves, and the sweetness of second chances.
Genre: Romance
