About this ebook
From Best Selling Author, Ali Parker...
Once Judged, Always Judged.
A past filled with harmful teasing isn't easily overcome. Neither is a history of crime and death.
Sicily Moretti comes from a long line of good cooking and large hips. Having graduated at the top of her class from the Culinary Institute of America, she finds success in sugary treats and rich pastries. Having moved from New York to Maine with her closest friend, Kari and Lisa, she's looking for a new start where the building of her own bakery will be her focus. She's not looking for love, nor is she interested in it. She's been judged incorrectly too many times.
Drake DeMarco comes from a long line of crime, his new life a fresh start. His older, Demetri worked hard to help the feisty alpha male cut ties with who he was born to be, his past completely hidden to everyone in the small town of Bar Harbor. He's invested in the town's only gym and is working hard to keep his attention only on his business, but everything changes when a dark-haired beauty begins to steal not only his attention, but his heart.
With a past that would land him in jail, he's beyond scared to let Sicily in. Good thing she doesn't seem in the least bit interested. Will he finally push past his fear of having her judge his family and their nefarious ways and force her to see him for who he is on the inside?
The past follows them until they turn and face it, reconciling who they once were from who they are to become - together.
COMPLETE STORY - HEA.
** 18+ Explicit sex scenes & foul language.
Resistant, Second Chance, serial, weight loss, confidence, desire, love, great, story, book, Alpha Male, self-confidence, gym, baker, Contemporary, love short story

This book really speaks to you. I can bet every person out there has been judged, but never as hard as a person judges themselves. Until you stop judging yourself you can not find what you are truly ment to be or be with. Just like the Sis and her man. This book is a great read and very uplifting. I would love to see a story with all 6 of them in it with a little more closer into all there lives, like wedding bells and such.

I don't know a single woman that hasn't, at some point, felt what Sicily has - judged. We all have our insecurities, men and women alike and sometimes those insecurities don't let us see what others may see in us. I think this was a wonderfully written story about how love can make us see past some of those insecurities we see in ourselves. Ali had done it again!

This book hit home! It was intense and strong. I love how it connects to "take me higher" and shows a bit more background on one of the DeMarco brothers. I can't wait for more!
