Roots & Revelations: A Steamy BWWM Interracial Multicultural Standalone Contemporary Small Town Cozy Fantasy Romance (SPELLBOUND BAKEHOUSE)

What if the boy who broke your heart was the only one trying to save you?

Jovi

He walked through my apothecary door after twelve years.

Twelve years of silence. Twelve years of pretending I didn't watch his mother every Sunday for a sign he was alive. Twelve years of telling myself I was fine.

He asked me for grief tea.

I should have thrown him out. Instead I brewed it. My hands knew what his hands needed before he opened his mouth, and that scared me more than anything.

I have built a life here. I have a shop my mother left me. I have a town that comes to me when their hearts are breaking. I have remedies that work. I have a name that people say with respect.

I do not have the answer to why he left.

He's been back two weeks. He's already on my porch. He's already on my mind. And the storm coming for this town is not the kind I can brew my way out of.

Gideon

I left her at eighteen because my father gave me a choice nobody should have to make.

I have spent twelve years carrying it. Twelve years on a Nashville construction crew. Twelve years checking my phone every Christmas. Twelve years rehearsing a speech I never gave her.

My father is dead now. The choice he made me make is sitting in his desk drawer in three folders.

Honeywell thinks he was a good man. Honeywell is wrong.

I came home to set it right. I came home to give back what he stole. I came home to the only woman who has ever known me — and I'm going to tell her the truth even if it ends us.

She doesn't owe me forgiveness.

I'm going to ask for it anyway.
