Publisher Description
Can a grumpy former Ranger find lasting happiness in a marriage of convenience with a sunny single mom?
After losing his leg, former Army Ranger Holt Steele is building a new life and a new business with his friends. Sure, he never expected to put small-town baker on his resume, but he finds he likes the quiet, simple life. If only he didn't like the sunny single mom who works across the street--or her adorable kid--quite so much.
After escaping a controlling husband, event planner Cayla Black has one focus--growing her business and maintaining a safe, happy home for her daughter. She has no time or interest in a man. Not even one who charms her child with Disney songs and keeps turning up like a mind-reader to help without being asked.
But when her ex's conviction is overturned on a technicality, and he shows up to reclaim his wife and child, Holt intervenes with an outrageous lie. The only way to fix it is to make his falsehood the truth. As they struggle to convince everyone that their marriage of protection is real, these two reluctant hearts fall deeper, until the lines between the fiction and the dream begin to blur, and they have to risk it all to protect the family they didn't know they wanted.
Customer Reviews
Love these 3 !
The relationship between these 3 is beyond precious. A child that can make an adult feel whole again, who has not felt that way in years, is a treasure. A man who is willing to sacrifice for a ‘friend’ and the friend is really in need of…… Well, I’ll leave that to the imagination. This was a story about learning to trust and about not taking everything upon yourself. Allowing someone in who can make a difference and being able to accept that help is key. If you love happy endings this is for you. Enjoy!!!.

Loving the Military Men
Holt and Cayla had sparks going between them in the “Mixed Up With a Marine” The glances and such; you just hoped something special would happen and Kait did not disappoint.
I loved that Holt kind of “fell” into this marriage of his own choosing. He was already in love with Maddie, Cayla’s daughter, but was hesitant about making any gestures toward Cayla. He felt he would be saddled down, just like he was with his sister, Hadley, and his absentee mother. He never thought this would be different.
I don’t want to give too much of the story away but highly encourage you to read the second book in this series! I can’t wait for the third.

Will he be able to keep his girls protected?
Wrapped Up with a Ranger is the second book in the Bad Boy Bakers series. Holt and Cayla have been circling around each other for a while now, both feeling the attraction, but he just wants to remain friends, but all of that changes when Cayla and her daughter are in danger from her ex. What starts as a marriage of convenience starts to feel very real, but will Holt be able to keep his girls protected?
This was such a fantastic book! I love marriages of convenience, mixed with single moms, plus add in a bit of a grumpy hero with a heroine that has hope and sunshine, and I’m a goner! I adored Cayla, Holt, and Maddie, I loved their connection and their ups and downs they needed to navigate to find their happily ever after. Cayla was so strong, not just because she was a single mom and ran her own business, but also because she stood up for herself, she protected those around her, and she remained hopeful even in the midst of darkness. Holt had a bit of an inner struggle when it came to Cayla. He wanted her so fiercely, but thought he never wanted to be married or raise children again. But I loved how he acted around both Cayla and Maddie, I loved his protective nature, and I loved his drive. They made an amazing team, in and out of the bedroom, and I just loved how their relationship developed. Her past created a nice tension throughout the whole book, but I was definitely invested in this family! I loved this book! I am loving this series, and I am so excited for the next book!
