To Piper Baker, love is a hoax simply created to brainwash us all into believing life isn't as bad as it seems. She knows better though. Piper knows not to trust in the unreliability of love but to rather focus on what she can control- the opening of her specialty bake store. But Piper is soon going to find that life is filled with surprises and when you have a mother like Anne Baker, not believing in love is not an option. When Piper's mother signs her up on a dating website, Piper is torn between sticking to her anti-love ways or embracing the possibility of a life companion. Add in the gorgeous landlord, Scott Daniels and suddenly Piper's structured life becomes all kinds of chaotic. But maybe somewhere along the line Piper may discover the true definition of love and maybe she might just become a believer in it too.

His hair was the first thing I noticed about him. It seemed to have a mind of its own; a personality of its own. It was curly, but not. Auburn, shaggy and un-brushed; it intrigued me. He intrigued me. His plain, skinny, silver lip rig gave him an air of mystery, and his dark brown eyes held more intelligence than anyone could have imagined. He smirked; his lips twisting up into a flirty smile that could send every girl in the room into hysterics. It, at least, had that affect on me. (The amazing cover was created by @OreoandMint)
