Sugar and Spice for Daddy

My bakery is three months from bankruptcy. My father's billionaire best friend just walked through my door. And the way he's looking at me has nothing to do with business.

Knox Sterling is forty-three, commanding, and completely off-limits. He held me at my christening. Now he wants to hold me against his granite countertop while he shows me exactly what I've been missing with boys my age.

One taste of my lavender honey cakes and he's offering to save my business. One late-night "lesson" in his penthouse and I'm calling him Daddy. One week and he's already planning to put his ring on my finger and his baby in my belly.

My father will disown me if he finds out his best friend is teaching me about more than profit margins. The nineteen-year age gap has the whole town whispering. And Knox's possessive need to claim me publicly is about to destroy everything we've built in secret.

But when he drops to one knee at my bakery's grand reopening—in front of my father, his business partners, and half the town—I realize something:

Some things are worth burning your whole life down for.

Knox Sterling is about to be my husband. My baby daddy. My everything.

And I'll call him Daddy while he does it.
