Review
Samantha did not have the easiest childhood, but her one escape was baking. She has worked at the bakery since she was 16 and she thought that when the owner retired that she would be able to take it over. Fate had other plans when Justin the owner’s son decided to take it over and they do not have a happy past.
Jack and Sam have been friends for years and he has always wanted to protect her. He is helping his father out at the marina and is a volunteer firefighter.
The feelings that Sam and Jack have for each other run much deeper than friends, but neither is willing to cross the line. With all the suspicious activity going on in town they become closer, but will they finally take the leap from friends to lovers?
This is a sweet and sexy small town romance between two friends that were destined to be more. Sam shows a strength she never knew she had, and Jack is so protective when it comes to Sam.
