The Ocean Between Us Delisa Lynn

Masters Sweet Baked Goods-the best bakery in Benton Creek. Run by Hendlee Masters and her grandmother, Masters Sweets is the heart and soul of what's left of Hendlee's family. Raised by her grandmother after her parents died when she was only five, Hendlee's poured her time and energy into building her own life in the small town she loves. Best friends are hard to find-and even harder to keep. Hendlee didn't start to notice her feelings for one of her friends-Quaid Castings-until she was in high school. By then it was too late. Unlike her, his plans for the future involved ditching town and enrolling in the Naval Academy. Just one night with Quaid is all she wants, but when it finally happens, it's not nearly enough. And he's leaving in less than twenty-four hours. The pursuit of happiness often requires leaving someone behind. Quaid wants more than the country life. Joining the Navy is the best way to explore the world beyond the hills of Kentucky. Except chasing his dream means leaving behind the girl he's been in love with all his life-Hendlee Masters. When Quaid chooses a career in the Navy over the love of a small-town girl, will their fates once again align? Or will their love be lost in The Ocean Between Us?
