Every first love deserves a second chance. Shelby Patterson has come back to Texas for one reason and one reason only-to get her husband to sign divorce papers. She's worked hard to build her California bakery, where clients clamor for her one-of-a-kind creations. Seven years after her disastrous marriage, she'll finally have everything in perfect order-just as soon as Ritter McCoy signs the dotted line. Ritt is still pissed that Shelby walked out all those years ago without giving their marriage a chance. Sure, they were young and had just lost the baby that had rushed them to the altar, but they'd loved each other beyond reason. Ritt gave up his college baseball scholarship, only to have Shelby and her mom take his parents' bribe money and run. If Shelby wants those papers signed, she'll just have to wait until he's good and ready. Or maybe, before she flies the coop again, he can convince her the love they had between them is still there-and still hot enough to melt their hearts back into one.
