"When Gemma left her hometown of Haven Ridge, Colorado, years ago in a cloud of controversy, she swore she would never return. And she's kept that promise, instead building her reputation as one of LA's preeminent family law attorneys. But when her lifelong best friend begs her to come stay with her teen stepdaughter, Taylor, while she's on a business trip, Gemma doesn't have the heart to refuse. She'll simply keep a low profile, do her honorary aunt duties, and be gone before anyone knows the difference. But Haven Ridge seems to have a mind of its own, dragging Gemma unwillingly back into the community she's tried so hard to leave behind and she soon finds herself caught up with new friends and old rivalries. When Taylor is the object of an ugly bit of teen bullying, Gemma does the only thing she knows how to do: ply her honorary niece with baked goods and words of affirmation. Soon, her temporary digs are ground zero for teenage girls seeking sugar and consolation for shockingly adult problems -- which the girls soon dub The Broken Hearts Bakery. Complicating matters is an unexpected reunion with Gemma's high-school sweetheart, Stephen, who is determined to change her mind about him, the town, and the nature of love itself. Because as it turns out, her niece isn't the only one nursing a broken heart . ."--,Provided by publisher.
