The Sweetest Ingredient
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a baker in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a sassy flirt…
When Kenzi Middleton, an out-of-work graphic designer and Jane Austen fangirl, steps into Doughy Desires, she expects an awkward blind date, not a job interview. Talk about mixed signals! With financial pressures mounting, Kenzi sees this twist of fate as a much-needed lifeline.
Which is why Kenzi lies through her teeth to the broodingly gorgeous bakery owner, Mr. Darcy, erm—Bishop Caine about her baking experience. Or lack thereof. And Kenzi knows she should absolutely not be crushing on her new boss, she has enough trouble discerning sugar from salt.
Yet despite Bishop’s gruff demeanor and the pressure of false pretenses, they ignite a passion hotter than any oven. But just as Kenzi starts to weaken his stern exterior, family drama, spiteful rumors, and a cutthroat bake-off threaten their budding romance.
If only Kenzi can get around the deceit of her baking bluff, then she just might have a chance at happiness…
Will mixing flour and feelings lead to a recipe for disaster, or can love prove the sweetest ingredient of all?
*May cause uncontrollable cravings for baked goods. And while there is no sex or swearing, passionate kisses are guaranteed.
Tropes: boss love, grumpy/sunshine, small town romance, friends-to-lovers, slow burn, forced proximity.
