Poppy Miller believes she can read a person by their pastry preferences.

So when grumpy architect Noah Westfield claims he doesn't like sweets—while secretly devouring her blueberry muffins—she knows there's more to him than his buttoned-up shirts suggest.

Noah's only in Sweetsville for six weeks to oversee the town hall renovation. The quicker he finishes, the faster he'll earn that big-city promotion. The charming small town with its irritatingly cheerful baker shouldn't be a distraction. Especially when his firm expects him to recommend tearing down certain "non-historic" buildings—including her sunshine-yellow bakery.

As Noah finds himself accepting an "extra muffin" each morning (purely for research, obviously), the small town's magic begins working on more than just his sweet tooth. But when Poppy discovers his firm's true plans, she'll have to decide if there's a man worth saving beneath that grumpy exterior, and Noah must choose between the career he's built and the small-town life—and baker—he never knew he needed.

Some connections are too sweet to resist...even for a man who claims he doesn't like sugar.
