Quincy Mole was left uninspired by her family's fortune, so to feed her craving for something new, she ventured off into the bustling streets of Michigan where she would learn that everything comes at a price - literally and figuratively.
Matthew Baker was a world renown pastry chef, a man whose exterior represented a hard-core bull rider, a personality that was close to being described as a "brick wall" and a heart that was as soft as the cookie dough he had perfected at a young age.
Quincy would face a whole new reality as she starts her career at Matthew's Bakery - the dish washing girl who was relying on her last crumbs of hope and the man who fed them to her.

The Badass Nerd
"What the hell did you do!?" I heard a feminine voice behind me. I groaned and turned around to meet a very angry face. I have never seen a girl this pissed before and honestly speaking, I am a little bit afraid. "She knew what she was getting into. Everyone knows I am player and I never stick to one girl." I shrugged and turned around to walk away. I didn't even take one step when I felt a firm hand on my t-shirt. She took a fist full of my shirt and turned me around so I was facing her. She then held my collar. Damn, she is almost the same height as me and if I would have been any normal guy, I would be terrified of her. "You don't treat girls like trash, asshole. She has feelings, she is not some toy that you got bored from after playing for a while. Apologize to her." She said through gritted teeth pointing towards Leah who was crying her eyes out. I noticed the crowd that started forming around us. I shrugged her hand away from my t-shirt and glared at her. "I will not apologize to anyone." I said slowly through gritted teeth. She is starting to piss me off. No one clashes me and no one stands against me. Even though I am new here, everyone knows that. I saw her eyes go blank and before I could duck, her fist made contact with my face and I felt sharp pain coursing through my nose. I held my nose tight and felt warm liquid flowing to my lips.
