Owning a business is hard. Not falling for your annoying but oh-so-gorgeous neighbor? Harder.

When Gage takes over the family bakery, he’s got a lot of work in front of him. His day starts way before dawn and doesn’t end till well past dark. The very last thing on his mind is romance.

That all changes the day a five-foot-nothin’ spitfire buys the shop next door and promptly begins what has to be the longest and loudest remodeling project. Ever.

It’s soon plenty clear that Little Miss Trouble is intent on upending Gage’s well-ordered life. He’d be good and riled up, if only his new neighbor from hell wasn’t so damn gorgeous....

Cady’s got a few resolutions for the new year: Start over. Open a business. Steer clear of men. All men.

Cady’s ready for a fresh start. What better way than to open a business? Extra points for work she believes in. Toss in a few more points for a cute-as-a-button storefront in downtown Sawyer.

Yup, her plan is perfect…except for one thing: The intimidating-as-hell baker running the shop next door. He’s a gigantic wall of muscle, exactly the type she's not into. But then why does her heart start to skip a beat every time he's close?

Cady begins to discover that sometimes, the best gifts come in oversized packages, especially when dusted with cinnamon and sugar.

But what happens when her painful past refuses to stay where it belongs?

Baked with Love is the ninth novel in the Long Valley Romance series, although all books in the Long Valley world can be listened to as stand-alones. It has some strong language, and, oh my, sexy times. Enjoy!
