Introduction

An anonymous benefactor brought Melissa Sweeney to the once-booming town of Bygones, Kansas. But she can’t fulfill her longtime dream of starting up her own bakery without help.

The Community and the Love

Brian’s heart and soul belongs to his hard-working community that’s slowly coming back to life. Melissa wants to be part of that transformation…if she can make Brian believe they can be true partners in everything—including love.
