Under The Maple Tree - Manda Mazanec

. .

Résumé :
What happens when a sassy barista, a sexy firefighter, and a drug dealing ex-boyfriend cross paths? Now throw in a decades-old kidnapping, and everything may go up in smoke... Sasha Patterson has worked for years to get her life together, and the pieces of her future are finally falling into place. She's staying sober and has saved enough to purchase Beach Brew, the small coastal caf? she has worked at since she got clean. But the shadows of her past are still there, waiting to sneak in, and they may reach further than even Sasha realized. When Blake Ryan, the sexy new firefighter in town, walks into the caf?, he threatens to undo it all by recognizing Sasha, or at least who he insists Sasha was-Paige Knight, the red-headed, freckled five-year-old who disappeared from his neighborhood twenty years ago. The scar on Sasha's forehead says it all. But how can she take the word of a stranger over her own memories? Blake must be mistaken. Sasha wasn't kidnapped and needs to prove it to him, but how far is she willing to go, and what will she discover while she tries?
