First Light

Some mornings change everything. Some loves make it worth staying.

Maya Reyes built her bakery from flour, stubbornness, and a promise she made to herself: no one gets to take it away again.

Then the building that holds her bakery and apartment is sold, giving Maya ninety days to walk away from the life she worked so hard to create.

Then Daniel Harper walks in for a loaf of bread.

A widowed firefighter and single dad, Daniel is trying to rebuild his own life. He is the kind of man who shows up when it matters, offers help without conditions, and slowly makes Maya believe that maybe she doesn't have to face everything alone.

As their lives begin to intertwine, Maya discovers that the hardest part of starting over isn't finding somewhere new to live. It's learning to trust someone enough to stay.

With a bakery at risk, a child who quietly becomes part of her heart, and a man who makes staying feel possible, Maya must decide what she is truly afraid of losing-and what she might finally be brave enough to keep.

First Light is a heartfelt single-parent romance about second chances, found family, healing, small-town charm, and the courage to build a life-and a love-that lasts.

Perfect for readers who enjoy emotional contemporary romance, single-parent romance, slow-burn love stories, found family, cozy bakery settings, heartfelt characters, and hopeful happily-ever-after stories.
