Violet Calloway knows who she is. From an early age, she was taught how to pick the right clothes, the right job, and, most importantly, the right man. What she wasn't taught was how to be happy. But when her father dies, leaving her with a ramshackle building and the sparks of an idea for a new life as a bakery owner, Violet jumps at the chance. When her infuriatingly sexy new contractor shows up, sinking in her life savings and disappointing her family becomes the least of Violet's worries.
He's desperate to save his old one
Nick Morello has made colossal mistakes in his life, letting down the people who love him the most. His best shot of proving to himself and his family that he's not the guy he used to be lies in the successful completion of Violet's shop. The family's construction business is on the line but if he gets the bakery done right, business will roll in.
Getting what they deserve
He can't afford another mistake and she's already put so much on the line. Giving in to the sizzling attraction spells disaster but when Violet puts her hands on Nick, the best of intentions go down in flames.
