Helen runs a bakeshop. She's independent, old-fashioned, and hard-working. Her tiny apartment above the bakery provides a cocoon when she's not adding a pinch of this or a splash of that. The little old Italian man that owns the building where she lives and works is sweet, but his family is trying to oust Helen. And she's no stranger to being ousted. In a previous life, her ex-boyfriend's family did much the same. A thick skin has left her turning the other cheek, until a tragedy strikes and Helen has no choice but to face the music. Or the pastries.
Judd is a broken-hearted business consultant extraordinaire. He's hoisted run-down businesses to their highest potential without breaking a sweat. But his ex-wife did a number on him and now he's starting from scratch. Ever the dreamer, Judd finds himself buying property, returning to a part of the city he hasn't seen since he was single, and running into people he thought he'd never see again. Problem is, he's burned too many bridges, one in particular, leading to a bakery.
When Helen and Judd meet up after so many years, the cat fight starts. Eyes are scratched out, donuts are thrown, and unkind words are uttered with mouths full. Helen is faced with no choice but to go along with Judd or face unlivable circumstances. Judd accidentally reveals a secret that he's kept from Helen since the days with her ex-boyfriend. It's a secret that will change everything. It's a mistake that they both made once upon a time. And neither of them can ever take it back.

About the Author
Sandra has been writing poems and short stories since middle school, and writing full length, self-published novels since 2010, using several pen names.
Writing full-length steamy romance series has quickly become a love for this author. Her stories have elements of humor, family issues, suspense and personal growth. Her books take the reader right into the bedroom with the characters to feel the same intensity as the lovers do in the story. Sandra’s goal is to have the reader rooting for the main couple…and she doesn’t disappoint.
You'll find this author working out weekday mornings at ungodly hours. She’s gluten and dairy free, and is probably the only person on earth who doesn’t do coffee or chocolate.
Her favorite movie is Bohemian Rhapsody, her favorite tv shows are Friends and The Connors. She’s also a die-hard Rocky fan and has read the Fifty Shades trilogy and watched the movies more times than she cares to admit.
Sandra is married with two daughters and is a lover of all things four-legged, including her own two furbabies.
The Ford Brothers series focuses on five swoon-worthy brothers who each served in the military, and lost their billionaire father suddenly, which left them to run his airline after his death. Each book features one brother, but they make appearances in all five novels. In case you haven’t guessed, the titles in the Ford Brothers series have been inspired by hazard warning signs, an idea the author came up with after completing a health and safety course prior to starting the series.
The Miles for Love series is about unexpected love, and it features the Lynch family; four brothers and one sister, who are each passionate, imperfect, and are just like you and I...but way sexier and with much more interesting lives. They are very individual and each have a unique story to tell.
The rock star romances are inspired by the death of Eddie Van Halen on October 6, 2020.
