Publisher's Summary

Owen Richards lives a quiet life in his small hometown of Haven's Cove. He has a rewarding life consisting of three very supportive - not to mention feisty - women, and a successful bakery that he owns and absolutely loves. Yet, Owen can't seem to shake this emptiness inside or the intense feeling that something is missing. A sudden encounter with a man from his past, one he despises, turns his entire world upside down. When Owen finds himself attracted to that sexy man, he questions everything, including his sanity. After all, only an incredibly disturbed person would find that he can't stop thinking about his high school bully.

Brody Walker never expected to return to Haven's Cove. He's made a life for himself in Boston, where he can truly be the person he was always meant to be. But an unexpected call has Brody facing all the demons he'd left behind so long ago. Now, he's faced with not only a difficult goodbye, but one long overdue apology to a man who is no longer that lanky kid from high school. The challenge is to convince the guy he's changed - and also prove he's worth taking a chance on.

Contains mature themes.

Great characters, interesting bully romance plot!

A baker in his small hometown of Haven’s Cove, Owen Richards has overcome the bullying he received for being openly gay in school. He’s generally happy but feels that he and his partner have fallen out of love. He’s less happy to run into building contractor Brody Walker, one of his high school bullies, who is back in town visiting his mother who is dying of cancer. Brody always regrets the way he and his friends treated Owen, especially since Brody was secretly gay himself.

I really enjoyed this bully / enemies-to-lovers romance, there were a lot of great characters and the story was chockful of interesting subplots. I liked that Owen didn’t roll over and automatically forgive Brody - everything took time to run its course, including the cancer, which was moving and sensitively handled. I also enjoyed the smooth tones of Sean Crisden, he is a favourite audio narrator! (The series is currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue)
