When a prim and proper baker and a laid-back bartender have a neighborly disagreement that gets them both in trouble with the law, a sweet reconciliation is stirred up in the playful third romance in Andrea Laurenceβs sexy Rosewood series.
Maddieβs life is perfectly sweet. Her bakeryβs tasty treats are rising to the top of every must-have list in town, and her commute is just a block away by foot. She loves everything about her little downtown Victorian bungalowβexcept for her unbearably noisy neighbor, Woodyβs. The barβs obnoxious and sexy owner, Emmett, seems to live to aggravate Maddie. But he mostly thinks she could use a stiff drink to dislodge the stick up her ass. Heβs just trying to run his business. Bars stay open late, they play music, they serve alcohol. If she doesnβt like it, why did she buy a house across the street?
When Maddie and Emmettβs battle lands them in front of the local judge, theyβre ordered to do several weeks of community service cleaning parks and painting over graffiti. As they scrub away the latest works of art by the townβs anonymous βPenis Picasso,β the baker and the bartender slowly begin to see thereβs more to each other than meets the eye. So what happens if they wave the white flag and surrender into each otherβs arms?
