Someone You Deserve

About the book

Penn Sheppard is the kind of man any woman would be fortunate to have - diligent, skilled with power tools, and reliable.

Unfortunately, I can't be with him because he used to be close friends with my ex-husband.

After unexpectedly becoming a single mother of two, Penn was there to lend a helping hand when my world was falling apart.

He embraced my children as if they were his own, coached my son's soccer team, and made sure my daughter always had kisses from "Daddy" in the jar.

But then he kissed me.

Despite my efforts to ignore my physical reaction and the questions it raised about Penn's other abilities beyond fixing and building things, I pushed him away and tried to pretend nothing had changed between us.

It turns out lying to oneself is more challenging than deceiving others.

Now, as I start my own bakery, Penn continues to support me, even carrying my favorite chocolate to comfort me in times of stress.

One evening, everything shifts, and I discover that cake frosting has uses beyond dessert.

As our relationship deepens, I realize I am treading dangerous waters of emotions and desire as I navigate my feelings for Penn and contemplate if he is my future or if our shared past is an obstacle I cannot overcome.
