 Fifteen years ago, small‑town baker Georgia  Walker lost a blue-ribbon pie -- and a piece of her heart -- to cocky culinary prodigy Jackson  Reid.

Now the celebrity chef is back in Honey Creek filming a food‑network comeback… and he’s rented half of Georgia’s tiny commercial kitchen. Sparks -- and flour -- fly from day one. 

But Jackson isn’t just there to torment the girl who once out‑baked him. He’s hiding a secret debt that could cost Georgia the bakery she built from scratch. Forced into six claustrophobic weeks of 5 a.m. prep, the two rivals mix batter by day and trade barbs by night -- until one flour‑fight‑turned‑kiss threatens to blow the whole arrangement sky-high.
