Description

After a disastrous marriage and one Vegas-sized mistake, Poppy Johansson swore off charming disasters—especially the kind in suits. But when she impulsively buys a rundown Colorado bakery, the oven isn't the only thing giving her trouble. Enter Theodore P. Munsen, Lone Ridge's rule-obsessed lawyer, who irons his shoelaces and blushes like it's contagious.

Their first meeting ends with a tray of "special" brownies at the town book club and a viral confession that puts them both on the map. Now, the chaotic baker and the buttoned-up attorney have to team up to save reputations, the Winter Carnival, and maybe each other.

He's never met a rule he didn't laminate; she's never met a rule she couldn't break. But somewhere between legal briefs and buttercream, they might just find that love—like dough—rises best when you stop following the recipe.
