It took everything for Poppy Wheeler to finally achieve the dream of opening her very own bakery—but that doesn’t mean it won’t be taken away again. Desperate to fight off the bills piling up, she agrees to a deal with a traveling small town baking show. But there’s a catch, they don’t just want her. They want the man that almost stood in the way of her dream too.
Hayden Thompson would happily turn his back on his inheritance with a tainted past if that’s what it took to spend all day in the sea—on a surfboard or launching his new air-sea rescue team. What he could never turn his back on is the woman that gets under his skin like no one else. Which is why he agrees to star on a baking show, despite his complete lack of baking abilities.
But when the show-runner discovers that he’s Hayden Thompson, of that Thompson family and high profile mystery, and wants to flip the script on them, he and Poppy soon find out what’s worth fighting, and sacrificing, for.
