About this ebook

Can a grumpy former Ranger find lasting happiness in a marriage of convenience with a sunny single mom?

After losing his leg, former Army Ranger Holt Steele is building a new life and a new business with his friends. Sure, he never expected to put small-town baker on his resume, but he finds he likes the quiet, simple life. If only he didn't like the sunny single mom who works across the street--or her adorable kid--quite so much.

After escaping a controlling husband, event planner Cayla Black has one focus--growing her business and maintaining a safe, happy home for her daughter. She has no time or interest in a man. Not even one who charms her child with Disney songs and keeps turning up like a mind-reader to help without being asked.

But when her ex's conviction is overturned on a technicality, and he shows up intending to reclaim his wife and child, Holt intervenes with an outrageous lie. The only way to fix it is to make his falsehood the truth. As they struggle to convince everyone that their marriage of protection is real, these two reluctant hearts fall deeper, until the lines between the fiction and the dream begin to blur, and they have to risk it all to protect the family they didn't know they wanted.

Ratings and reviews

This was sweet, romantic, and steamy. The MC's had such great chemistry. Holt was ridiculously close to perfect. Even when he did something that rocked the boat, it was in Cayla and Maddie's best interest. Cayla was independent and intelligent. She didn't cave under the weight of her ex's deceit. There is still unfinished business.to be resolved, but no cliffhangers. Looking forward to Jonah's book. I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this book received via Booksprout.

One of my favourite things in reading anything from Kait Nolan is the world of it all - I love the 'easter eggs' of it all. Not only do we get to know some great people, we also get little snippets of folks from previous books. Cayla and Holt's story is a great read, and another winner from Kait Nolan.

What an exciting story!! Cayla and Holt’s story is a page turner!! This new series “Bad Boy Bakers” is off with a bang! Maddie is such a sweetheart and am imp to the bone!! What a page turner!! I didn’t see the twists coming and Holt is the perfect book boyfriend. And Cayla is a firecracker! I loved their chemistry, love their circle of friends and the bakery too! I want to go to this bakery ! I wished this was a real place and a real town! I stayed up way late to finish this book!. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
