Deacon Slater was my high school crush-the bad boy with haunted eyes that made my heart skip a beat. But in our small town, the Slater name is synonymous with trouble, and Deke lived up to it when he landed in prison a few years after graduation.

He served his time and now he's back, living in the apartment above mine, covered in ink and even more intriguing than before.

As the owner of Sugar Rush bakery, I'm used to building bridges with my muffins and cookies. I've seen cowboys nearly come to blows over the last lemon bar. But Deke wants nothing to do with my treats...or me. He keeps his distance, barely speaking when I knock on his door.

Until the day he doesn't have a choice.

He's there when I need him, stepping in to protect me, showing me the caring man beneath his rough edges.

We couldn't be more different. I'm a curvy ray of sunshine in a pink apron and he's a stoic, tattooed carpenter in work boots. But the more walls we tear down, the closer we get. And piece by piece, we discover how well we fit.

But when darkness from his past comes looking for him, what we're building could all fall apart. Because this time, trouble isn't just circling Deacon Slater.

It's coming for us both.
