Emily-I lost my last piece of family when my grandmother passed away. Needing a fresh start, I knew just the place- Rose Valley. A quiet little town my grandparents visited and one they talked about often.
When I arrived in Rose Valley I had one goal- open a bakery and make my gram and my dream true.
I felt like I finally had it all- amazing friends and a family who took me in as their own. My own bakery. And a tiny, cute little house with the porch swing. I had finally found a place to call home.
Then came Garrett. My best friend’s broody older brother.
I wasn’t looking for a hero, but damn, I wanted him. I wanted the kind of love my grandparents shared.
Just when everything seemed perfect, everything fell apart. I wanted a forever with him.
But at what sacrifice?
Garrett-
I’ve spent my life being the responsible one, putting everyone else first, being the one everyone depends on.
Then came Emily, and for the first time I wanted to put myself first. I wanted to be selfish. I wanted what my parents had. I wanted the “happily ever after” my siblings found. And I wanted it with Emily.
But just when I start thinking the future I want is possible, I’m thrown a curveball that threatens my plans and the future I want so desperately, I feel forced to make a do what’s expected of me, or put myself first and the woman who makes me want to be a better man.
I’m not certain of a lot of things, but one I am certain of? I’ll fight for that future I want
