When Alexis โLexiโ Moreau caught her husband, Jeff, sampling the sous-chefโs more intimate wares in their New York restaurant, she ranโall the way back to her hometown of St. Helena, California. Six months later, Lexi has no husband and no restaurant. But she does have a three-step plan: First, convert her grandmotherโs bakery into her dream bistro. Second, ignore Grandmaโs matchmaking attempts. And third, avoid Marco DeLuca, her exโs commitment-phobic, distractingly sexy best friend.
In school Lexi was off-limits for Marco. After all, she was his buddyโs girl. But sheโs still as smart and as gorgeousโand apparently as immune to his charmsโas she used to be. Yet the simple fake romance they agree upon to dodge Lexiโs grandmotherโs matchmaking plans soon turns deliciously complicated. And the sultry summer might bring together all the right ingredients for Marco to win the only woman heโs ever wanted.
