Sometimes it just takes a little spark to reignite an old flame.
Life is good for Tess Gardiner. Her Savannah bakery is thriving. She's earned Master Pastry Chef status. She's headed to a culinary convention in Charleston to speak on a small business panel, an opportunity she hopes will lead to even bigger things. Her personal life, however, gets unexpectedly shaken up when she runs into Tyler Brinks, the ex she cut out of her life eight years ago.
Tyler's career has exploded. With one wildly successful restaurant and another on the way, he has everything he ever wanted?except answers about what went wrong with Tess. When a major pastry competition is announced for the week after the convention, he jumps at the chance to tempt Tess into being his partner, hoping for the perfect opportunity to prove their chemistry was never just in the kitchen.
As the competition heats up, Tess quickly realizes Ty has more on his mind than cream puffs and cupcakes. And she can't deny that her feelings for him haven't cooled, they've simply been simmering beneath the surface all these years. Now she wonders?is this just the recipe for long-overdue closure, or is it a second chance at true love?

J. Lynn Rowan started writing stories as a small child, usually starring her favorite cartoon characters. Most of her work through middle and high school was filled with typical teenage angst and melodrama, and usually mirrored the books she loved to read.

Historical fiction remains J. Lynn's "first love", but she has enjoyed the journey to becoming an author of romance and chick lit. She is a member of Romance Writers of America, Hearts Through History Romance Writers, Carolina Romance Writers, and the Historical Novel Society.
When she's not writing, J. Lynn enjoys travelling, gardening poorly but enthusiastically, studying various topics in American history for her own expertise, and channeling Julia Child every time she steps into the kitchen.
A native of Oswego, NY, she now lives near Charlotte, NC, with her own Romantic Hero of a husband and their three children, affectionately known as Babycakes, Sugarpie, and Little Bro.
