A dash sugar. A pinch of forgiveness. A second chance worth savoring.When single dad Sawyer Thatcher returns to Acorn Field Heights, the last person he expects to see is Isla Mercado-the girl whose heart he broke seven years ago. Now she owns the town bakery, and his five-year-old daughter Maple is determined to spend every afternoon there learning the "magic" of cookies.With his ex-wife threatening custody and no stable job in sight, Sawyer's running out of options. Isla knows she should protect her heart from the man who left her once before, but she can't resist Maple's enthusiasm or ignore how right it feels having them in her bakery.As October winds toward the Fall Festival, Sawyer and Isla must decide if second chances are worth the risk, and if a makeshift family forged in flour and frosting might be exactly the recipe they both need.
