Cream and Punishment (Smitten in the Mitten)

About this book

Baker Dekker Piper is a master of creating delicious treats, but her personal life is a total disaster. Just as she attempts to start fresh, she discovers her new neighbor is none other than Max Fuentes—the man whose life she previously ruined. Living right next door to someone who has every reason to despise her feels like a cruel twist of fate, and Dekker spends her days bracing for the inevitable revenge she is certain he has planned. Caught in this high-tension, forced-proximity situation, Dekker finds herself unable to avoid the handsome and charming Max. Yet, as the days pass, he consistently misses every opportunity to humiliate her, despite her offering him plenty of openings to settle the score. Confused by his unexpected restraint, Dekker begins to question her assumptions about who he really is. As the icy tension between them begins to thaw, a sizzling chemistry takes its place. This delightful enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy explores whether two people can move past a messy history to find something real, or if their rekindled connection is destined to crash and burn once again. Perfect for fans of sweet, swoony, and low-angst romance, this story is a heartwarming addition to the *Smitten in the Mitten* series.
