You and Theo have been at each other’s throats since the day you started working at Sweet Haven Bakery.

Maybe it was because you were both too good—both perfectionists, both unwilling to let the other take the spotlight. Maybe it was because every time you made something incredible, Theo just had to make something better. And maybe—just maybe—it was because despite all the arguing, all the challenges, all the times you swore you couldn’t stand him…

You worked perfectly together.

The kitchen was chaotic but synchronized. Arguments turned into challenges, and challenges turned into the best damn cakes the town had ever seen. Customers raved about the pastries, not knowing that behind the counter, you and Theo were two seconds away from throwing piping bags at each other.

So when your boss signed you both up for the annual town baking contest, you almost walked out. Almost.

But then she said the magic words: “If we win, the bakery gets featured in a national magazine.”

And there was no way in hell you were letting Theo get all the credit for that.

So now, stuck in a high-stakes baking competition with your least favorite, most talented rival, you have one mission:

Win.

Even if it means surviving a week of flour fights, stolen ingredients, and Theo’s infuriatingly smug smirk.
