They were from opposite sides of the tracks: the wealthy Nortons and the working-class Michaels family. Yet Gray Norton and Charlie Michaels had become the unlikeliest of best friends, thick as thieves and utterly inseparable.
Consumed with guilt after Charlie's untimely death, Gray fled his hometown to work as a doctor in a war zone. But Charlie's demise isn't the only thing that haunts Gray.
For years, Gray and Romey, Charlie's sister, had been lovers—and Charlie never knew. Now a single mom, Romey has moved on from her painful relationship with Gray to work on her business, The Crusty Petal bakery. But when Gray returns to reconnect with the family he left behind—and the girl whose heart he broke—Romey's world comes apart.
Romey has no intention of giving Gray the time of day, much less one of her famous pies. But can she resist the plan Gray has set in motion to make amends and win her back? Both have secrets and painful memories they've been harboring for years—but the past always has a way of catching up.
Food, family, and the search for self-acceptance come together in a richly drawn novel of exceptional emotional resonance.

Jordan (One Warm Winter, written as Jamie Pope) delivers a feel-good interracial romance following Romey Michaels and Gray Norton as they try to reconcile their deep connection. The white, upper-class Nortons and the Black, middle-class Michaels family live on opposite sides of Sweetheart Lake. Despite this, Gray and Romey’s older brother, Charlie, were best friends growing up—and Gray and Romey had a covert romance for years without Charlie ever knowing. When Charlie died young, Gray left Sweetheart Lake to join Doctors Without Borders. Almost two years later, Romey, now a single mother, has moved on from their rocky relationship to focus on her bakery, The Crusty Petal—until Gray returns to Sweetheart Lake on a quest to win her back and declare his everlasting love for her to the entire town. Romey is strong, self-sufficient, and well-aware of her worth, and she has no intention of giving Gray the time of day—but true love just might sway her. This well-constructed drama seamlessly blends romance with a heartfelt story of family and identity. Readers are sure to enjoy this wonderful tale of opposites attracting. Agent: Emmanuelle Morgen, Stonesong.
