When Alexis βLexiβ Moreau caught her husband, Jeff, sampling the sous-chefβs more intimate wares in their New York restaurant, she ranβall 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 grandmotherβs bakery into her dream bistro. Second, ignore Grandmaβs matchmaking attempts. And third, avoid Marco DeLuca, her exβs commitment-phobic, distractingly sexy best friend.
In school Lexi was off-limits for Marco. After all, she was his buddyβs girl. But sheβs still as smart and as gorgeousβand apparently as immune to his charmsβas she used to be. Yet the simple fake romance they agree upon to dodge Lexiβs grandmotherβs matchmaking plans soon turns deliciously complicated. And the sultry summer might bring together all the right ingredients for Marco to win the only woman heβs ever wanted.
