Love at First Bite

Becca Atwood's plans were simple. Graduate from university, secure her dream job at Harrington & Brooks, and marry the love of her life in the Maldives. On the coast of Maafushi, of course.

After designing a genius trading algorithm - Athena - for her finance firm, Becca thinks she's got it all. She feels so very close to her perfect life being complete...

Only to find out that her firm has been exploiting the algorithm, causing thousands of businesses across the country to go bankrupt. Becca tries to put a stop to it, which gets her blacklisted from the finance world.

Overnight, her relationship, family, and career collapse, and Becca has no choice but to rebuild her life from scratch by opening a bakery across the country.

In Riverbend, Connecticut. Damian Cross' territory.

Damian Cross, heir of Crosswell Manufacturing, carries the weight of his family's legacy on his shoulders. Stoic and calculating, he rarely lets anyone get past his cold exterior. The only thing that can melt it is his town, Riverbend.

It's the one place where his guard drops, and something close to a smile forms on his face.

When the shops, streets, and people of town are affected by Athena's fallout, Damian is devastated. That devastation soon turns to anger, and he is determined to find the creator in order to get justice for the town.

But what if the one he's been chasing through chaos is also the one he's been searching for in love?
