Whisked Away - Avery Morgan

She came home to find her purpose. She didn't expect to find love waiting across the street.

When Maddy Bell returns to her small hometown, it's not because she failed - it's because she's searching. Searching for clarity. For direction. For something that finally feels like hers.

Reopening her family's beloved bakery seems like the perfect place to start. Flour-dusted mornings, familiar faces, and the comfort of recipes passed down through generations offer the stability she's been craving. Love? That's firmly off the table. She has goals now - and distractions aren't part of the plan.

Then she meets the veterinarian across the street.

Rex Townsend is steady, kind, and far too easy to talk to. He's built a life in the very town Maddy always planned to return to - and he sees something in her she's not yet ready to see in herself.

Between early-morning pastries, rescued puppies, and a community that refuses to let her hide, Maddy begins to wonder if coming home wasn't about starting over... but about finally beginning.

But can she risk her heart when she's still figuring out who she wants to be?

Whisked Away is a heartfelt small-town romance about rediscovering yourself, chasing long-buried dreams, and realizing that sometimes love finds you when you least expect it.
