The end isn't the best time to realize you've been in love all along.

Bakery owner Harper has her secrets. She's always kept to herself, constantly on a career climb that only she can see, with no one allowed close—except the one person in Bayview who won't take no for an answer.

Paisley's fallen into bed with Harper twice already over their years of friendship, but it's never meant anything. Unless it has, in which case—well, she'd have to confront those feelings now, because Harper is on her way out of Bayview for good.

It's too late now for the two of them to find all the things they could have been. But maybe the ending is the best time for a new beginning.

Contains mature themes.
