A lot has changed over the years as she now runs and owns a popular bakery in town and plans to show him just how successful she is. But there is one problem, Ryan is still very handsome and he was not supposed to come after her like the sexy guided missile he is.

Sometimes a woman is just worn out and needs a break, you know?” The lines on her forehead deepen. “That doesn’t prove that you’re weak or neglectful, it proves to all the women standing by and watching you pave the road to success that it’s okay to say no. It’s okay to shut your door every now and then and put up a sign that says Busy taking care of me today. Piss off.”
