Capturing Casey’s Heart

Chapter One

She was the biggest idiot on earth. Casey McCain thought the words for the

umpteenth time as she moped around her house. It had been three weeks, three

atrociously long weeks since she had run from Jared Calabrese with her tail between

her legs like the coward she was.

living room and into the kitchen hell-bent on baking herself into oblivion.

shift, but she was part-owner of the family’s pub Raising Cain. However, that wasn’t

what she liked to do. Casey’s true love was baking. Owning a bakery and catering

business had been a lifelong dream. Being the impatient woman she was, Casey

decided instead of waiting for Autumn to grow up before going out in search of her
