Two years after her husband's death, Tilly St. James knows it's time for her next step. When she discovers that he secretly bought her a building for her dream bakery, she's excited and ready to get to work. Unfortunately, it needs a ton of TLC, and there's only one person available to help-her late husband's best friend Archer.
Archer has his sights set on a starring role on a home improvement show, but when Tilly needs his help, he can't say no, even though it means working with the one woman he could never get out of his head, no matter how off-limits she was.
Through hours of clean-up, debating paint swatches, and eating takeout on the bakery floor, an unmistakable attraction grows between them. Archer struggles with wanting to break every promise he ever made to himself about his best friend's wife, and Tilly must make sense of how to cherish her husband's memory while giving herself a chance to find love again. When opportunity calls Archer across the country just as the bakery's opening day approaches, they'll need to find a way to honor the past while embracing a future together-or let their love collapse like an overdone souffle.
