He was my dad’s best friend…
The man I grew up hearing stories about—the legend who could turn food into magic.
The one who vanished after betraying my family.

Now my family’s bakery is dying, and my dad has one impossible request:
Find Luca Carson.
And bring him home.

Except Luca isn’t the man I imagined.
He’s scarred, brooding, and hiding away in a lakefront mansion where secrets go to rot.
And I didn’t expect him to make me laugh.
To make me feel.
To make me forget every reason I came here in the first place.
He thinks I’m someone else.
And when he finds out who I really am…
I’ll lose the one man I never meant to fall for.
