Narrated by: JD Tomlinson, Savannah Thomas

Ever since Camryn Tanner went to culinary school, she knew she wanted to own a café. She's worked at one for five years now, and the owner is ready to sell it. The question is: Can she create the café of her dreams?

Fletcher McDowell comes from a long line of bakery owners. His father has tasked him with opening their latest bakery. After a playboy youth, Fletcher knows this might be his last chance to prove himself to his father. There's just one problem—the bakery across the street from his.

It doesn't take long for Fletcher to meet his rival, a beautiful woman with a sharp tongue and baking skills that far exceed anything his bakery can produce. Their rivalry is about to be tested when they are forced to work together to win a baking competition.

With Camryn's lucky saltshaker missing and the two enemies vying to gain insider information about each other, the competition is off to a rocky start. But the true test is figuring out the sleeping arrangement when a pipe burst leads to a shared room.

Will these two get over their enmity and work together to win? And can they stop themselves from falling for their enemy in the process?

Contains mature themes.
