Description

She's a romantic. He's a die-hard bachelor. They need to deal with their attraction before both of their jobs go up in flames.

Although her former employment at one of Italy's most prestigious restaurants has proven MacKenzie O'Riley's culinary skills, she returns to the U.S. newly single and wary of falling in love too fast. It figures that her first good, salaried offer worthy of her talents would require her to work as a pastry chef for Davey Johnson, her best friend's brother-and the man she once swore she would marry when she grew up.

Faster than you can say vanilla glaze, MacKenzie is baking for Davey's restaurant and holding her own in the kitchen. It's her heart, however, that's in real danger of being burned...

Davey Johnson doesn't believe in second dates, let alone relationships. Instead, he's focused his energy on running Harmony, an exclusive restaurant in New York City. He hires his kid sister's friend to fill a pastry chef vacancy, thinking she'd be a great fit.

Except nothing is that simple. MacKenzie is more than up to the task; it's Davey who's faltering. She's not the young, freckled-faced redhead he remembers, but a beautiful woman. Mixing with the staff is a terrible idea... but MacKenzie may just convince him to break his own rules.
