Was it the worst day of her catering career? Melanie Gibson decides it probably was. Her delivery guy got sick, her car died, she waded through a downpour holding fifteen gourmet dinners (wearing one shoe) and had the worst case of raccoon eyes when she found herself double parked next to the sexiest, crankiest, and hungriest man she'd ever met. Mel's dilemma: relationships are bad for her heart. Christopher Bishop can't resist the lure of a woman who smells like brownies and has an off-beat personality as delicious as her desserts. As he sees it, he's got two problems: first, he's not looking for love...not yet. Second, he's the accountant hired by the bank to assess Mel's business for a loan. But all their best reasons for not falling in love are about to go on the back burner-because what's simmering between them is too delicious to ignore.
