Except falling for the girl was never part of the plan. Blake Minola had the prettiest smile-that is, when she chose to smile. And she could bake a cake so mouthwatering, you'd beg to gain five pounds. However, at work, she had been stuck on gender reveal cake duty. In her personal life, she'd been burned by her ex-crunchy, black, smoking burned. Between the two, she rarely showed off that pretty smile. Yep, Blake Minola was in a funk, a boring-bake, non-smiling, unhappy funk. Royce Valentine had one job... one little task and his cousin would set him up with the promotion of a lifetime... All he had to do was make the sister of his cousin's crush happy. Complicated? Not for Royce. He could do that, no sweat. A little swooning, a little charming, and Royce would have Blake Minola smiling again. Or so he thought. The trouble is, Blake refuses to be charmed. If only she'd accept ONE of his many date offers. But then, getting to know Blake isn't how Royce imagined it to be. He'd hoped to be able to survive her company. He never realized he'd enjoy it. And her cake? He'd do just about anything to eat something Blake decided to bake. Just because nothing went as planned didn't mean Royce couldn't handle the situation. The scheme wasn't spiraling. He'd never go and do something stupid-like say-falling for the girl.
