After her husband is killed, single mother Julie Whitney opens Julie’s Coffee and Sweet Shop. Suddenly, her business partner and baker falls ill and she needs a new pastry chef. If she doesn't find one fast, she'll go bankrupt.

The mob wants Gabe Vaughn dead. Sleepy little Lobster Cove seems as good a place as any to hide. The red-headed owner of the coffee shop needs help; Gabe's family owned a bakery. He could think of worse ways to occupy his time while he lays low.

On one hand, Julie is convinced heaven answered her prayers when she needed help the most. On the other, the tall, dark stranger with secrets in his eyes has made it clear he is only passing through. Is her mysterious new employee hiding something? Or is he really an angel in disguise?
