Sweet Things — Deanna L. Rowley

Found abandoned, sick, and alone, Ellie Faulkner didn't look back once rescued. Now that she was safe and with a loving family, she followed her dreams. Those dreams led her to open a bakery. She never let her debilitating illness stop her. Carter Stephens was a handsome man and was tired of women hitting on him. Because of his job as a police detective, he turned into the bad cop whenever a woman approached him. He soon regretted his treatment of Ellie when she came to him for help. Can the two of them work together to find the person she reported missing and the other missing people in their neighborhood, or was Carter's initial treatment of Ellie a deal breaker? As they continue to work together, things start happening that make Carter suspect that Ellie isn't who she says she is. Can he sort out the truth before it's too late?
