The Cinnamon Promise

About the book

Sometimes the person who knows your heart best has been beside you all along. Lily Harper is one of the familiar faces at Maple Street Bakery in the charming town of Rosewood Falls. Known for her delicious cinnamon rolls and unwavering loyalty, she has always put others first, even when her own dreams remain unfulfilled. Noah Bennett was once her closest friend. But when he left Rosewood Falls years ago, he also left behind regrets, unanswered questions and a friendship that meant more than either of them realised. Now Noah has returned.

Can an old friendship become the love they never knew they were missing? **The Cinnamon Promise** is a clean, heartwarming friends-to-lovers romance filled with forgiveness, friendship, bakery warmth, emotional healing and a hopeful happily-ever-after.
