In forgiveness, healing can begin.

Sweet Ridge Hearts

Book Three in the Maple Ridge Series

Published by She Rises Studios

Synopsis

Career-driven Katy Flanagan desperately wants to become the creative director of the Martin and Lewis marketing agency. But when she loses the promotion and gets dumped by her boyfriend the same day, Katy flees New York for a small-town break with her cousin Christine.

Yet even in country-quiet Maple Ridge, Katy's skills can be useful, and she's prepared to jump in to help Christine win a competition for her Sweet Ridge Bakery. What she's not prepared for is handsome bakery manager Derek Higgins.

A veteran dealing with the aftermath of PTSD, Derek is a lone wolf, and he likes it that way. Being forced to work with a spirited businesswoman and her healthy ego is a challenge every step of the way. But the stakes are too high for him to give up helping his boss.

As the competition heats up, so does the chemistry with Katy—until she's offered a new job in another city. Now she has to decide whether to take a risk and start her own company, or become the creative director of a new, successful firm, which is everything she ever wanted.

At the same time, Derek must face his own issues when personal tragedy wraps him in survivor's guilt, leaving him unable to forgive himself for past actions. While Derek seeks to heal the wounds of a haunting past, and Katy searches for the courage to face her fears and forge a new path, what will become of their relationship?

Perfect Timing

 

I just finished reading Sweet Ridge Hearts which was book three in The Maple Ridge Series. I loved meeting up with characters from the first two books. I have had some sadness lately and this feel good story was just what I needed. Susan is a marvelous writer and she makes me want to come back for more. And I think finishing the book on Veteran’s Day was symbolic. Read the book to find out why. Make sure to order all three if these wonderful books❤️. Cathy
