Everyone knows the golden rule of business-don't bang your business partner. Especially if he's your brother's hot-as-sin, hockey-star best friend. But when the sexy single dad athlete saves me from a cake contest catastrophe-and shows me how good he is with his hands-I blurt out the world's worst business pitch: Want to invest in my bakery? With no loan or backup plan, this is my last shot at proving I'm more than my past mistakes, and shockingly, he says yes. We set one rule: don't mix business with pleasure. Except Corbin Knight's impossible to resist. When he's not scoring goals, he's staying up late with me to test tempting recipes. Braiding my hair before we bake like it's foreplay. Giving me his jersey to wear to games. I try to keep a professional distance from the bossy, possessive and dangerously flirty hockey player, but soon we're testing the limits of the kitchen counter. This bakery is my chance to finally get my life right, so I fight the messy feelings. Until one night, he shows up after closing and admits he can't stop thinking about me. Suddenly I'm ready to break every rule-no matter the cost to our dreams. And breaking the rules has never tasted so good. This is Corbin and Mabel's romance. Tropes include: Brother's best friend, single dad, workplace romance, hockey, the one who got away, love letters
