A small town baker meets a man who's sweet as pie—and twice as sinful—in this sexy romance series debut. Nestled between the Cascades and the Pacific, Destiny Bay is the perfect place for Kennedy Sinclair to embrace the motto "Life's short so eat the icing first." As the new owner of a bake shop and apple orchard, she can finally indulge her passion for baking—and forget about her cheating ex-boyfriend. Sweetie Pies is famous for its hot, flaky apple turnovers. But for Kennedy, nothing is more tempting than Luke Harlan, the sexy hard cider entrepreneur who keeps coming back for more. With his father's cider recipe and a rare opportunity within reach, Luke is determined to succeed. He just needs Kennedy's apples. At first, he thinks it'll be as easy as pie to charm those apples right off her trees. But Kennedy isn't falling for his tender charms—or his wicked ways. When the negotiations start heating up, so do the feelings they have for each other. And it takes just one kiss to seal the deal . . .
