Crossing the Bridge

They agreed to be business partners. Nobody mentioned falling in love was part of the deal.

Paul Cartright rebuilds his cousin's failing cafe one recipe at a time, determined to prove — mostly to himself — that he can start over after a marriage that cost him everything. The last thing he needs is Noah Symonds, the farmer supplying his produce, making him believe in anything he can't control.

Noah didn't sell his family's business and move onto his uncle's farm looking for romance. He came looking for somewhere to finally belong. He wasn't counting on Paul, or on a found family assembling itself around them both — a baker, a maître d', a farmhand, and an old man with thirty years of grief he's finally ready to unpack.

Between a menu, a business, and a town that's already rooting for them, Paul and Noah build something neither man knew he still wanted — slowly enough to trust it, and carefully enough that neither wants to be the one who breaks it. A small-town, farm-to-table romance about the home two guarded men build when they finally stop bracing for the worst.

Crossing the Bridge includes business-partners-to-lovers and an opposites-attract M/M love story between a chef rebuilding his life and the farmer patient enough to earn his trust. Perfect for readers who want their found family loud and their small towns generous with second chances.
