Being honest with herself, the fat girl never got the cute guy, but the fat girl always fell too hard too fast. It was like knowing it wouldn't happen made her want the impossible that much more. Sitting on the couch with him, she'd been far too comfortable, and in that moment, she'd remembered she was a woman, prone to the same feelings of women of any other size and shape. But buff, muscular Eric Spader wouldn't end up with Liberty Unick, dessert chef extraordinaire.
-----
Liberty Unick grew up in Orangevale, the chubby girl kids made fun of. Though she's still not thin, she's turned her love of sweets into a prosperous bakery. The people who used to call her names now put their money into her pockets.
Eric Spader bought the Orangevale Nursing Home, sight unseen, wanting to help others and find his purpose in life. He's never quite gotten over his divorce two years ago. Maybe with this new venture, he can make a home and finally move on.
A happy circumstance brings him to Liberty's door, and an instant friendship blossoms. She's sweet and fun and a fabulous cook. Yet the closer they become, the more insecure it seems she is. When what matters the most is on the inside, where the chef at the bakery is fast becoming the best part of starting over.
