When Mae Bell inherits a crooked little cottage in the Scottish countryside, she hopes for distance. From London. From heartbreak. From the version of herself that spent years settling for less.
What she doesn’t expect is Callum — the quiet bakery owner with flour on his sleeves, a talent for noticing too much, and a way of making her feel seen again.
Between cinnamon tarts, rainy mornings, and the warmth of a tiny village café, Mae begins to realize that the scariest part of starting over isn’t change. It’s letting someone stay close enough to matter.
