Synopsis

August Hodges expects to stay in the background of Sugar Blitz Cupcakes as a silent partner. Then an off-the-cuff rant of his goes viral. He defends women bakers and brushes off the notion that baking threatens a man's masculinity, and overnight he becomes the most talked-about bachelor in town.

The bakery is preparing to open a new location, and the attention is worth using. August hires Sloane Dell as social media manager to keep the momentum going. He has had feelings for her since she was his best friend's teenage little sister, and her own crush on him once cost her dearly.

Both of them want the arrangement to stay professional. They agree to leave the past where it is and focus on the job. That holds until a kiss with real heat in it shows that the attraction has not faded at all.

This is a romantic comedy about sudden internet fame, with bakery trouble running alongside a slow-burning attraction between two people who have good reasons to keep their distance. It is the next book in the Sugar Blitz series.
