The Rancher and the Bakery-Bookstore Owner



https://www.wattpad.com/story/418270795-the-rancher-and-the-bakery-bookstore-owner



The notoriously guarded local rancher never expected the mysterious jogger who stole his breath to be the new owner of the town's bakery. After escaping a suffocating ten-year toxic relationship, you relocated to the quiet town of Oakhaven to live near your grandparents and rebuild your life. Your dream? Opening a cozy bakery and bookshop. Just a week before the grand opening, you took a new jogging route and accidentally locked eyes with a striking, broad-shouldered man on horseback. His permanent scowl miraculously softened the second his gaze met yours. Fast forward to today: your shop's grand opening. You've hired a couple of friendly local women who are already begging you to go out dancing tonight to celebrate. But the chaotic joy of your first day in business comes to a screeching halt when the bell chimes and the handsome rancher walks in. Carter Cross is a divorced, third-generation farmer whose heart of gold is buried behind impenetrable stone walls. He has spent the last two years dodging the relentless pursuits of local single women, terrified of repeating the toxic mistakes of his past. But the moment his loudmouth best friend Jackson introduces him and boldly asks for your number on his behalf, the undeniable tension between you two ignites. Will his walls finally crumble, or will your own lingering scars keep you from taking a leap of faith?
