Once an awkward high school kid, she now possesses fabulous curves and an irreverent sense of humor. The cozy bakery, with its delicious smells of sugar, vanilla, and spice, has more to offer than tasty cookies.

Can Fiona dredge up the courage to confess, face the consequences, and hope for forgiveness?
