I am pretty sure I have a man cave, but for a woman. There are a few guys in my neighborhood who have set themselves up pretty nicely in their garages. They have TV’s, refrigerators, some awesome beer signs and comfy places to sit and watch the world go by. I hadn’t realized I created one of these caves for myself until I caught myself sitting in my camp chair, snacks within easy reach, sipping a beverage, and just relaxing. This all happened slowly of course. Over the years I have cleaned up the garage, hubby painted the floors and put cabinets in, and I have my own workout gear including my punching bag set up for a little exercise when needed. I realized it was turning into a cave when I was trying to decide where to put a TV. It’s the perfect set up. You are both in your home and outside being part of the world. Men have had it spot on all these years.

In her enchanting debut novel, Jennifer Moorman invites you to a whimsical little Southern town where magic floats on every breeze and is baked into every cake. Moorman weaves the tale of a young woman whose grandmother’s secret–and the ancestry of her grandfather–are about to change her life forever.
Anna O’Brien is sure of three things: there’s nothing she can’t bake, life is sweeter with chocolate, and her dreams are better left unspoken–especially to her mother. For a while, Anna has been living her life according to the expectations of others, never stepping out of line, never following her heart. Her one consolation is continuing her grandmother’s legacy by running Bea’s Bakery.
When Anna’s long-term boyfriend decides to move across the country without her, she is forced to face an uncertain future. After a long night in the bakery with her best friend, Lily, Anna’s humdrum existence rockets out of control when she follows a mysterious recipe left behind by her grandmother and finds Elijah–a handsome stranger–baking donuts in her kitchen the next morning.
Soon Anna is living in a world where she must deal with the repercussions of Elijah’s unexpected existence, while trying not to fall in love with “the dough boy.” Brimming with humor, love, and a sprinkling of magic, The Baker’s Man is an irresistible tale of friendship, forgiveness, and the enchanting possibilities of following one’s heart.
