A talented baker and a small-town sheriff forced into a fake relationship decide whether to take a chance on love in this delectable romance from Joy Avery.

Baker extraordinaire Rylee Harris has a recipe for everythingโ€”except love. Itโ€™s been five years since she lost her husband, but romance is still a struggle for Rylee. In her small hamlet of Honey Hill, North Carolina, Rylee knows sheโ€™ll be the talk of the town when she finds someone new.

To ease her motherโ€™s worries about her love life, Rylee impulsively invents a fake relationship with the only man whoโ€™s caught her eye: the town sheriff, Canten Barnes. Itโ€™s supposed to be a secret, but secrets donโ€™t last long in Honey Hill. One bit of gossip leads to another, and soon the whole town thinks Rylee and Canten are an item.

As Rylee and Canten embark on a make-believe relationship to save face, they slowly realize that their feelings for each other arenโ€™t fake at all. Can Rylee and Canten keep the charade goingโ€”or will the townโ€™s prized baker and respected lawman take a real chance on love?

(4.5 pandas)

Thereโ€™s a devil on my shoulder, and every Monday morning she announces herself. Sheโ€™s this delicious flame in my chest, a flurry of whispered suggestions in my ear. Suggestions I ignoreโ€ฆbecause every single one of them is about Ben Tate.

Benโ€”Stealer of Clients, Evicter of Homeless Women, Nemesis. Sitting across from me every damn Monday with his lovely, smug smile and his too-perfect teeth, the living symbol of everything I hate. Itโ€™s been my policy to avoid him, but when a case comes into the firmโ€”one that could change his career and mineโ€”I make an exception. It means weekends and evenings by his side. It means enduring his smirk and his smart mouth and never taking the bait.

Until the night Ben says, โ€œBeg.โ€
And that devil on my shoulder decides to make a few demands of her own.
