From romance author Kelly Collins comes Tempting Mr. Knightly, an enemies to lovers, forced proximity, grumpy sunshine standalone novel.

Lucy Wang has built her bakery from nothing, and she’ll be damned if another suit destroys everything she loves. She’s got Flour & Honey, loyal customers, and a protective streak a mile wide. So when her best friend’s wedding forces her into the orbit of Knox Knightly—arrogant, insufferable, and far too handsome for his own good—she knows exactly what he is: trouble. The kiss at the engagement party was a mistake. The fact that she can’t stop thinking about it is unforgivable.

Knox Knightly has spent fifteen years believing in one truth: love destroys. He watched his father lose everything for it—company, family, dignity—and he signed The Oath to ensure he’d never make the same mistake. Now he’s the last man standing, four years from freedom. But Lucy Wang just walked into his perfectly ordered life with flour in her hair and fire in her eyes, and suddenly “insufferable” feels a lot like “irresistible.”

She despises everything he represents. He can’t stop provoking her. But between forced proximity at wedding planning and late nights at the bakery, the line between enemies and something far more dangerous begins to blur—until Lucy discovers the truth about the investment that destroyed her family’s business eight years ago. And Knox’s signature on the documents.

Can a sharp-tongued baker and a billionaire who doesn’t believe in love survive the revelation that could tear them apart? Or will the sins of the past destroy the future they’re only beginning to want?
