Author Description

Professional runner Larisa Mae Baker is fast on her way to achieving her goals when an injury during a major event takes her permanently out of the running; damaging her knee, killing her dream, and severing her relationship with her fiancé. When her beloved grandmother passes away and leaves Larisa a bakery in the small town of Cove Creek, it feels like fate intervening. Even though her experience with preparing pastries exists only in her memories of summers spent baking with Gran, taking over the bakery seems like the logical next step. The people of Cove Creek instantly welcome Larisa as their own; with the possible exception of one surly mountain man, her own grandfather, and a stalker who may have followed Larisa from Knoxville to Cove Creek. Between mending fences with her grandfather, keeping the bakery running, a new love interest, and determining if she's truly in danger, Larisa has plenty of distractions to help her move on from her dashed dreams. Could life be as simple as an answered prayer when a couple of miracles guide Larisa toward a new love, and a positive future in Cove Creek? Welcome to book #4 in the Smoky Mountain Magic series by Cyn Taylor set in the quaint town of Cove Creek.
