He wants her in his bed. She wants him out of her kitchen.

Violet is the best Production Supervisor to ever manage a menu, and she’s got one goal: to reach the top at world-renowned Wynne’s Kitchen. And when Wynne announces an exciting new position, Violet’s sure she’s got it in the bag - that is, until Ben came along.

Ben was a prominent Fine Dining Manager in the big city, until his wife left him and destroyed his reputation. His only shot at redemption is to take a job at Wynne’s Kitchen, assuming his ex-wife doesn’t sabotage it first. But when Ben learns that running a bakery isn’t the cakewalk he thought, he wonders if a comeback is possible.

Now Violet must train Ben or risk losing the opportunity of a lifetime. Not only is he clueless about baking, but he also doesn’t seem interested in her expertise. For Ben, if the Cupcake Queen doesn’t get off his back, he might legitimately lose his mind.

When a twist of fate brings Violet and Ben together, sparks fly – suddenly, temperatures are rising faster than a preheating oven. And when forbidden love is on the menu, do you choose to follow corporate policy, or will passion take the cake?

Fans of The Hating Game by Sally Thorne and Sweet Spot by Amy Knupp will devour this steamy romantic comedy set in the heart of New York City.
