When Paisley and Sebastian, a rival florist and baker, are hired to collaborate on a wedding cake, they soon discover nothing's fair in love and family drama.
*****
Paisley DeGrande, a gifted Montreal florist, is tired of hiding her feelings for pastry chef Sebastian King. But she knows better than to give in to her feelings for the son of her family's greatest rival, even if it's near impossible. After all, they attend the same university and see each other on a daily basis. Oh, and the King's family bakery is directly across the street from the DeGrande's florist shop. Still, Sebastian King is off-limits...that is, until a local bride-to-be asks the rival businesses to collaborate on a wedding cake covered in flowers. Now that they're forced to work together, can Paisley keep her hands to herself when it's clear Sebastian also wants them to be more than friends? Or will the rift between their families continue to keep them apart?

"And why would you think I'd go anywhere with you?" I ask.
He fills his cheeks with air and glances at the time on his watch, before slipping his hands slowly into his pocket.
"I might have told everyone at the party that I'm engaged..."
I chuckle and sprinkle extra flour on the dough before continuing to knead it.
"And you want me to come with you to see if she's a good match for you? Since when did we become acquaintances?" I laugh.
He lets out a guilty laugh.
"No I... I told them I'm engaged to you."
