A Heart Worth Mending: A Small-Town, Age-Gap Romance Between a Grumpy Vet and the Sunshine Baker Who Helped Heal His Heart

Penelope Everett is chaos wrapped in sunshine and cinnamon. Milo Turner is a brooding small-town vet who prefers his solitude-and his scars-untouched.
But when an injured fox, a runaway goat, and a perfectly imperfect dance in a flour-dusted kitchen spark something real, Milo and Penelope are forced to face the truth: love isn’t always neat. It’s messy. It’s brave. It’s terrifying.
And sometimes... it’s exactly what you need to heal.
Can a woman learning to choose herself risk everything on a man still learning how to stay?
