Seventeen years after Shay Michaels left Red Maple Falls—and the only boy she ever truly loved—she’s back and living her dream as the owner of Sweet Dreams Bakery. Life is finally on track… until a break-in at her shop makes her wonder if the past she left behind in New York has followed her home.
As the town’s sheriff, Matt has more than one reason to keep a close eye on the bakery, and its stubborn, beautiful owner who refuses to take the danger seriously. Old feelings resurface fast, and the chemistry between them is impossible to ignore.
But second chances don’t come without baggage. With unresolved mistakes and years of heartbreak standing between them, Shay and Matt must decide if they’re brave enough to let go of the past or risk losing each other all over again.
Mad About Matt is a steamy small-town second chance romance and the first book in the beloved Red Maple Falls series, perfect for readers who love protective heroes, heartfelt reunions, and small towns filled with big personalities.
