The Sugar Rush Deal

This baker's newest recipe? A dash of desire with a chance of heartbreak... When Ava Jensen takes over her grandmother's failing bakery in Riverbrook, Vermont, the last thing she needs is Grayson Mitchell moving into the apartment upstairs. But the silver-haired restaurant developer, with his devastating confidence and those coffee-dark eyes, is making it impossible to maintain professional distance-especially when his strong hands keep finding excuses to guide hers during morning prep. Now he's offering to help modernize her equipment, and Ava's finding it harder to remember why she swore off romance after losing her husband. Between heated glances across shared dinner tables and the way her nine-year-old son's face lights up when Grayson walks in, her carefully ordered world is tilting on its axis. But while she's building a legacy in this small town, his corporate success demands constant motion. And Ava's already learned that betting her heart on someone else's dreams only leads to getting burned. This is book 1 in the Downtown Riverbrook Series.
