When sex-shop owner Eva Stephens meets ambitious baker Remo Belli over the trash one morning, they quickly whip up a half-baked scheme to benefit both of their businesses.

Remo, home again after completing his pastry arts degree, wants to take over the family bakery, but his nonna won't hear of it unless he's in a relationship that might lead to grandchildren. Asexual Remo finds that outcome highly unlikely, but fake-dating Eva for six months might be the secret ingredient to changing his nonna's mind.

In exchange, Remo will help Eva entice hesitant community members through the doors of The Love Shack by creating tempting treats for the sex-positive shop's educational programs. Eva, who has been struggling to keep her shop afloat, is more than willing to test his recipe for success.

It's strictly business—no feelings have to be involved. Too bad falling for each other is as easy as pie.
