Crazy for the Sweet Confections Baker

Combine one sassy baker, one sexy hockey player, and one obsessed stalker. Mix well, then sprinkle on some romance and enjoy!

According to Rachel Marconi chocolate heals all wounds. That and throwing darts at pictures of her ex-boyfriend. Burned by yet another bad relationship, Rachel decides to reprioritize her life, putting her dream to compete on a Food Network Challenge on the top of her list and dating at the bottom crossed out in red sharpie. But what's a girl to do when a certain sexy guy keeps asking her out?

Cue in Graydon Green, former pro hockey player. The ice was where he found peace and also the fame that sent spotlight-hungry women chasing him. After being forced into retirement, all Graydon wants is to focus on his teen hockey camps and help his parents manage their restaurant. That is, until he meets a certain sweet and sassy redhead. The more time they spend together, the more Rachel fills up the emptiness inside Graydon.

The problem? Rachel thinks he's simply a restaurant owner and she's not a fan of violent sports. How can he come clean about who he really is without losing the woman he may be falling in love with? Especially when threatening notes directed at Rachel start arriving at Sweet Confections. Can Graydon get Rachel to trust him enough to keep her safe with not only her life, but her heart as well?
