Welcome back to River Hill, where life is a little bit sweet and a whole lotta spicy. After tragedy struck, Sean Amory left L.A. to come home to River Hill to work at his family's bakery. The familiar surroundings soothe his raw nerves while the gorgeous brunette who jogs past every morning has another effect entirely. And when she helps him out of a bind, he learns Jess is even sweeter than the apple fritters he's become famous all over town for. Former beauty queen Jessica Casillas-Moore hasn't eaten carbs since she was fourteen, but that doesn't stop her from jogging past The Breadery every morning. And when she meets the handsome baker who works there, Sean is every bit as mouthwatering as the pastries he serves. And so much better for her waistline. But between her family's disapproval and his haunting past, the odds seem stacked against them. Can Sean and Jess learn to trust in each other and their growing love, or is their relationship a recipe for disaster?
