Bulky Baker
Violet Caldwell
I have a sunny attitude, along with the determination that comes from growing up in a tiny town with free-spirit parents. Nothing is going to stop me from owning my own bakery. Chef Nicholas is a brilliant baker, but he’s grumpy and brooding. When he asks this lowly prep cook to prep his personality for television cooking show auditions, I agree—as long as he’ll teach me his pastry secrets.
It’s no hardship spending time alone with my boss, especially given how hot he looks when his bulky frame fills out a chef’s jacket. Not that he sees me as anything more than an employee. I’m nearly half his age, new to Portland, and I’ve never even had a boyfriend. But the more I peel back the layers on this grouch, the more I want to say, “Yes, Chef” to him.
My assignment is to make big, burly Nicholas Romano look friendly and relatable on camera. But as we spend evenings alone in the kitchen, his powerful hands working dough while I work over his rough edges, all I want is those hands all over me.
Each off-limits romance in the Built for Her series features a brawny and protective older hero who takes up space in her heart. From the author of the Falling Fast instalove novellas.
