It should have been the perfect idea, right? A bake-off to take the pressure off Sylvia Harmon whose ex is getting remarried, thereby eliminating the pressure Emma and Darcy are under. Brilliant, or so Darcy thought. Until it became time to talk Ethan Crosby into it.

Darcy’s got an invitation to join Ethan at an auction. No, this isn’t the date he supposedly asked her out for a while ago. This is a favor for his cousin who’s some well-known New York Times best seller. Why not, since said author agreed to do a book signing at Darcy’s bookstore, and that’s bound to bring in more business. Not to mention that’s going to satisfy Becca’s crush on said author.

Jamie’s never gotten over the one that got away. And boy did he ever get away. The bastard ran off without so much as a goodbye after a few sweet, sexy, sweaty days and nights. Just like that. Not a word. Walkr knew that Jamie was the one for him, and yet when duty called, he did what a good soldier had to do. Now, he’s haunted by the Mate Dreams. So that’s not a big deal is it? It sure is when his father wants him to marry within his own race and produce heirs for their bloodline.

Right there at the funeral. Right in front of Darcy. She can’t let that go without investigating, can she? Especially not after the attempts on her own life.
