Leah loves everything about her bakeryβthe heavenly smells, the satisfaction of feeding people and, of course, unlimited cookies. The only thing she doesnβt like is her uptight landlordβs daily visits. Sure, the manβs drop-dead gorgeous, but for someone with an insatiable taste for treats, heβs anything but sweet.
Army vet Hamilton knows he comes off as rigid. He just canβt seem to bite his tongue around Leahβhe might be a virgin but he can imagine a dozen better ways to use his mouth. But when the woman he considers absolutely delicious is threatened by an unwanted admirer, Hamilton intervenes, captivating Leah with his softer side.
Now the man Leah couldnβt avoid is swiftly becoming the one she canβt resist. Unrelenting temptation soon overwhelms them both, leading to an indulgence in everything theyβve been craving. But when past actions bring a fallout neither imagined, theyβll be forced to confront whether their affair is half-bakedβor something to savor forever.
