He stole her cookies. She stole his peace of mind.
Now they're about to bake up a Christmas neither of them will forget. Blake Hartwell has a reputation-ruthless in business, untouchable in emotion, and allergic to holiday cheer. But when the billionaire CEO accidentally buys out the entire stock of Sugar & Spice Bakery-ruining local baker Cassie Winters' biggest season-he discovers one woman who refuses to be bought, bullied, or silenced by his charm.
Cassie's world revolves around butter, sugar, and small-town magic. She built her bakery from scratch and won't let a cold, corporate billionaire bulldoze her dreams-even if he does look far too good in a suit. When she challenges Blake to roll up his sleeves and learn to bake the cookies himself, the last thing she expects is to find a man underneath all that steel and ice... one who makes her laugh, blush, and believe again.
Between spilled flour, midnight baking sessions, and a town full of holiday traditions, something unexpected starts to rise-something warmer than cinnamon, sweeter than sugar, and more dangerous than either of them planned.
But when Blake's powerful family demands his return to the corporate world, Cassie faces the heartbreak she swore she'd never risk again. Can love really compete with an empire? Or will Blake's greatest deal be the one that costs him his heart?
