Just as Riley Hewitt is thinking of expanding her bakery, Anson Black, plants his new restaurant right next door. They were rivals from grade school, until Anson left town right after graduation, and that opposition picks up right where it left off. But Riley finds more than her competitive edge coming back to life when faced with her smug, annoying-and, unfortunately, drop-dead-sexy competitor.

Anson has always had a secret crush on Riley. No one has ever stirred him or made him work harder than her. He's sure being right next door will get her to realize just what she's missing...

Second place just won't cut it this time around. But if Anson has his way, they could both come out on top.
