Code name Blue Jay, a seasoned combat veteran who’s survived worse than a spoiled princess, just needs the money to help his mom with her medical bills.
Moving into her first home as a semi-independent woman has its challenges, especially with the big, masked, pseudonymous bodyguard that follows her everywhere. But Wren will do anything to have a peaceful, beautiful life full of wild birds, a bountiful garden, and lots of baking. She just has to make Blue Jay quit… or find an exciting reason to keep him.
In Wren’s kitchen, the sourdough is hot—but the tension between her and her mysterious bodyguard might just be hotter.
