Heartful Secrets: Book 6
Rough Beginnings
Imagine there weren’t three main gods of Olympus, but four. A sister who went through something so horrible, so traumatic she left and was written out of history.
Arabella Baker and her two adopted daughters are moving to Boston to open a new business and start over. Things will be different this time with the new names and new life. The twins will live on their own at college—though still right in Boston—and experience something a bit more normal. The store she bought has a hefty price, but the location is fantastic, and she got the best spot in the new development… Which apparently comes with an immensely attractive man who owns it all.
Nothing goes smoothly in opening a new business though, sample days, crazy busy, and fluff interviews taking dark turns. Honestly, it leaves Arabella asking one main question—why did she think opening in such a large city and right before the holidays was such a great idea?

Opening Struggles
It was a rough beginning for Karma Bakery with the out-of-control sample days and interviews that went way past fluff pieces. But Arabella Baker and her two daughters, Kary and Mary, have the needed security in place and have hired the right people to fit into the new family they’re building.
They even made some outside friends of the paranormal variety, and that’s not something they’re used to.
Now that the store is ready and people are interested, the Karma Bakery is ready for opening day… Mostly. There’s more chaos than they could ever have predicted, and since they’re on the outs with Colton, he’s not always swooping in to help or save the day. She let him in too easily, and now Arabella is determined not to make the same mistake.
But after thousands of years of being alone, suffering from her traumas and brothers who were supposed to love her failing her, is it really wrong to hope that maybe there could ever be a man in her life that’s important to her again?

Turbulent Expansion
After surviving Halloween, Arabella Baker is determined to do things better while achieving what she planned with her daughters in moving to Boston. The fates seem to help her a bit, and the stars align along with putting together some helpful suggestions, and she manages a way to expand.
However, nothing is ever easy, even for a goddess, and she hasn’t heard the end of the underhanded offers for her recipes. With how popular the bakery is in its first month and the attention they’re getting, the stakes are higher than she expected. It also means more shops opening in the park, and that could help or hurt the bakery depending on the owners.
But the list of allies is growing, and with a promised first date on the horizon, Arabella finds herself unsure and a bit lost… Especially when Jamie isn’t the only one showing interest and wanting to spend time with her. How is a goddess who abandoned everything she knew and trying to rebuild her life and power supposed to simply date and not have it all explode?

Weary Christmas
They made it through Thanksgiving with some hope things would get better. Even after the attack, people were so supportive and willing to help that Arabella Baker is certain Boston was the right place to start over. Her daughters are finding their way, and she’s building a family.
A bakery family, which is weird, but a good family she’s proud of and loves. That’s what matters.
However, everyone wants more and more than what is even possible for a goddess to handle. Somehow the woman who is thousands of years old finally went on a date, and four men now want her attention. Customers want more of everything. People are demanding partnerships and going over the line.
But the factory was the right move and it’s helping. Everyone is committed to making Karma Bakery a success and growing. Every time she turns around, someone has a new idea on how to expand or what to branch out into next. Can a goddess be enough to handle what everyone else wants while focusing on what she needs as a woman?

Juggling Concerns
Arabella Baker, her daughters, and the Karma Bakery rocked Christmas. Now she can put more into place instead of constantly running to make all the orders for the holidays.
Until Valentine’s Day at least. All bets are off then.
She’s also excited to work on her personal relationships. She feels like she’s surrounded herself with friends rather than people who worship her or even just employees. People who really value her, and then there’s the men who want to be with her. Even with a hiccup, she feels like she can handle progressing her relationships. It’s a good place to be.
So of course, everything has to blow up. Not with the bakery. New Year’s Eve is a cakewalk compared to what they’ve already been doing, and the path seems a smart one for the bakery.
No, this is personal, and something she hoped to never have to deal with. Life will never be the same once the curtain is pulled back this time. But does Arabella have the right people at her back this time, or will history repeat itself and break her?
