Can one sweet deal erase the bitterness that haunts them?

Theo Silver left Spruce Hill after a tragic accident in high school and hasn’t looked back—at least not until his mother lures him home under the guise of looking after the widow renting her guest house. When he discovers the woman is neither elderly nor helpless, he makes the best of his family’s deception by devising a plan to convince the town he and the widow are dating. What better way to avoid unwanted holiday invitations than to cozy up with a fake girlfriend?

Esther Malek survived a terrible marriage and forged a new life for herself after her husband died, launching an allergy-friendly baking business with her food truck, The Nutless Wonder. The last thing she needs is her landlord’s handsome son distracting her in the lead-up to holiday events, but his suggestion of a fake relationship might present certain advantages . . . if Theo will accept a few adjustments so she can end her dry spell without diving back into the dating pool.

When a string of pranks directed at Esther shifts from annoying to potentially deadly, their fake liaison grows into something neither of them anticipated—but all of it will mean nothing if the threat against Esther escalates further.

Because the broken pieces of the past might cause their future to crumble, too.
