When my best friend and I decide to open our dream bakery, Sugar & Spice, I expect endless nights of kneading dough and dusting sugar cookies with holiday magic.
What I don’t expect?
My business-savvy bestie reaching out to Asher Mercer—Chicago’s most eligible bachelor and the same guy who starred in all my high school daydreams.
He’s everything I remember—devastatingly handsome, wickedly charming—with a gaze that makes my knees weak and my pulse race faster than an industrial mixer.
I’m not that quiet girl hiding behind textbooks anymore, but sitting across from him in a high-stakes business meeting, watching him study my proposal like he’s savoring the last bite of dessert, has my composure threatening to crack.
