Synopsis
She thought she’d found her forever… until the shadow of her sister’s love threatened to take it all away . Maggie Kauffman is thrilled to marry Simon Wittmer until doubts creep in. Simon was once engaged to Maggie’s older sister, Elizabeth, who’s now unhappily betrothed to someone else. Does Elizabeth still love Simon? And worse—does he still love her? Maggie tries to ignore her fears, but it’s hard when Simon’s mother, Esther, openly favors Elizabeth. Winning over her critical future mother-in-law feels impossible, especially since Maggie and Simon are expected to live with her after the wedding. The tension grows when Maggie hears rumors that Simon and Elizabeth recently met for coffee. Torn between confronting them and pretending she didn’t hear, Maggie begins to question everything. Is she truly Simon’s choice—or just a replacement for the woman he really wanted? In the warmth of the family bakery and the uncertainty of her own heart, Maggie must decide whether to trust her love—or walk away before she’s hurt even more.
