When a buddy hits on the woman Jensen has secretly loved since childhood, his days of being “the wingman” are over.
A small town, friends to lovers, instalove romance
Jensen
I’ve always been the wingman. The great buddy. The teddy-bear guy women lean on.
In elementary school, I was the kid passing notes between infatuated classmates. In high school, I was the guy telling a pretty girl that somebody liked her. In college, I was the icebreaker, initiating casual conversation with women in the bar, so that my buddies could ultimately take them home.
Tonight’s no different, even though it’s my birthday. I’m still the guy enlisted to lay the groundwork so my friend can get laid.
Only tonight is different. Because tonight, we’re in my hometown. In my bar. And tonight, the woman I’ve been asked to warm up is Bailey Burrows. That’s not happening.
Yeah, I owe my buddy. The guy invested in my business when the bank laughed in my face. But I’m still not helping him hook up with the girl I’ve crushed on my entire life. If anybody’s taking Bailey home, it’s going to be me.

Baking is my passion. It’s how I express myself. I’m a sucker for anything fluffy, creamy, and delicious, and that goes for my men too.
Our local firefighters put on a charity date auction every year to raise money for the town. As the local baker, they always hire me to do the dessert table even though they bring their own eye candy.
So, when I show up to do my job, I don’t expect to loosen my purse strings and place the winning bid on the crème de la crème: Gavin Lewis.
I can’t help it.
He looks like he’d rather be anywhere but there, so I feel compelled to save him. Did I already say I’m a sucker for anything fluffy and delicious?
Well, Gavin hits the spot.
But he’s recently been kneaded by an ex and not looking for anything but my cookies. I’m preheated and ready to melt for him, but can I settle for just a taste?
