Pastry chef Tessa Montgomery knows what everyone in the teeny town of Blossom Glen says about her. Spinster. Ice Queen. Such a shame.
It’s enough to make a woman bake her troubles away, dreaming of Parisian delicacies while she makes bread at her mother’s struggling boulangerie.

Forcing a pretty internet sensation to work with a no-nonsense former rodeo star to plan a grand re-opening event is a recipe for disaster.
Kelsey’s party girl experience makes her the perfect choice to plan the big grand re-opening party for the Twisted Rivers Ranch. She’s up for the challenge, but she might need some help to navigate the local Rocky Ridge scene.
Tanner’s background as a rodeo star does not in any way make him even a mediocre choice to help Kelsey pull the party details together. But as the new ranch manager of Twisted Rivers Ranch, he can’t very well tell his boss’s sister to figure it out on her own.
As the two starts to work together, sparks fly. Kelsey has grand ideas that might work in Hollywood, but Montana folks don’t go in for the glitz and glamor. And Tanner won’t tolerate her flighty approach to planning.

Tanner feels the attraction, but Kelsey is a risk he can’t take. He’s changed everything in his life to be a father to his nephew. He’ll do anything to protect his nephew from more turmoil… even breaking Kelsey’s heart.
