Bake It to Make It
To save her failing bakery, a small-town baker must fake a televised romance with the All-Star baseball player who broke her heart. -------------- When electrical sparks fly in my failing bakery, I'm forced back to the reality TV show that made me a national laughingstock. Competing while managing my chronic psoriasis flare-ups was traumatizing enough the first time. Now, there's a new twist: my celebrity partner is Brody Hightower, the pro baseball star who shattered my heart the day he was drafted. The boy who left me behind is now the hottest man I've ever seen. I'm not "Brody's girl" anymore, but the heat between us burns hotter than the competition ovens. When our chemistry sends the show's ratings soaring, the producers pitch an offer we can't refuse: fake a televised romance in exchange for a guaranteed spot in the finals. The plan is simple-until a flooded hotel room forces us into the same bed. With the cameras rolling and a secret Brody is desperate to hide, there's more at stake than sweet redemption. My heart back on the chopping block, falling for him again might mean losing more than just the competition. This time, I have to choose: preserve my family's legacy, or finally choose myself. 18+ for mature language and explicit content. Story is complete!Complete
