How to Bake for a Grumpy Fireman

A Sweet Small Town Instalove Romance

The first rule of the Hallow Creek pumpkin carving contest? Don't douse the grumpy fire captain in a pumpkin spice latte.

Oops.

In my defense, he’s tall, distracting, and has a stoic face that just begs to be ruffled. But Captain Liam O’Connell isn't just the judge... he’s the older brother of my high school ex.

This contest is my one chance to prove my bakery, The Crooked Spoon, is a serious artistic endeavor. I can’t afford to be distracted by his intense blue eyes or the way his flannel-covered shoulders fill out a doorway. My focus needs to be on butter, sugar, and carving knives. Not on the man who could extinguish my dreams (and my heart) with a single, gruff word.

He says he’s just here for a "fire inspection." I say he’s here for my triple-chocolate fudge brownies. But the more we’re thrown together, the hotter this kitchen gets.

He thinks I’m a chaotic mess. I think he’s a control freak who needs a good dose of sugar. And we’re both about to get burned.

How to Bake for a Grumpy Fireman is a short and sweet instalove romcom with a heart of gold. If you love grumpy heroes who fall first, sunshine bakers who won’t back down, and a small town full of autumn charm, you’ll adore this standalone novella in the Hallow Creek series. The HEA is guaranteed!
