"I would stick to baking if I were you principessa," he smirks, dipping one of his fingers into the sauce that I had been cooking on the stove.
Glaring at him, I swat his hand away and turn the stove down, "you would just love that, wouldn't you?"
With a wink in my direction, he leans down, close enough that his hot breath is fanning my ear, "I can't wait to see you fail, actually." His smirk widens.
Poppy Beckett has been baking for as long as she can remember. Well, at least since her mum taught her how to make fairy cakes in the kitchen when she was six, and even then she was only allowed to lick the spoon. Thirteen years later and finally it was Poppy's baking that was the talk of the town. But when a devilishly handsome stranger offers her a deal that will shape her future forever, will she be able to put the whisk away and impress with a frying pan instead?

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."
