   Summary

   When burnout sends Lucy fleeing the spotlight, a broken-down car leaves her stuck - right on the doorstep of Tim, a brooding baker with no time for pop culture or pop stars. She’s a disruption he didn’t ask for. He’s a challenge she didn’t see coming. But the longer she stays, the harder it gets to draw the line between temporary and something that cuts a little deeper.
