Second Chance Grump Next Door: A Brother’s Best Friend Sweet Romance

Working with my ex was never on my agenda.
But I’m not backing down from a second chance at love.
Especially with the grumpy gentleman next door.
Who happens to be my brother’s best friend.

On my first day back in town, the last person I expect at my job interview is Alex Thompson.
We used to be baking buddies and high school sweethearts.
How did I miss that he’s now the head baker?

His gorgeous eyes scan my resume, then lock onto mine.
My heart races like a time-lapse of dough rising in the oven.
My awkward self screams to run.

After all these years, my nerves still turn to jelly around him.
My lack of dating experience is to blame.

My brother’s made him build walls taller than a cake tower.
But I’m determined to crumble them.
If only he wasn’t off-limits.

The more I resist, the more I want to cross that line…

Now I’m praying to get this job.
And hopefully something more...
