Blended Together - Paperback

In Maysville, California, life is shaped as much by neighbors as by family and, like most small towns, the ties between them are what hold everything together.

Talia Mercer has built a life of color and care on her farm outside of town, where her soap business and circle of chosen family fill the gaps left by her distant parents. She is known for her loyalty, her fierce generosity, and her knack for pulling people together when it matters most.

Owen Bennett traded the relentless pace of restaurant kitchens for the warmth of the family bakery. His days are filled with flour, pies, and flavor experiments he finally has time to perfect. As he adjusts to the change from big city living, he hopes that small-town life might finally give him a place to belong.

When community events, and a threatened disaster, throw Talia and Owen into the heart of Maysville's response, their connection to the community grows deeper and their relationship with each other expands beyond their friendship with benefits. But Talia has learned the hard way to guard her heart, and Owen isn't sure there's room in his for anything more than the bakery. Together, they must learn to trust that love, like community, can be built one small act at a time.

Blended Together is a celebration of small-town community, where the people of Maysville weave friendship, family, and love into lasting bonds.
