A new contemporary romance . . .

RomCom| Enemies-to-Lovers| Grumpy-Sunshine

When Missy Bainbridge needs to quickly find a suitable date for a big family event, the last place she expects to find help is from the aloof businessman on her morning commute.

Missy is determined to make her bakery the sweetest spot on Boston’s Newbury Street. She’s poured her heart, soul, and a loan from her disapproving father into Missy’s Bakery & Cakery — and it’s finally starting to pay off. Her love life, however, is a disaster. Her grandmother, who raised her, has a list of suitors ready and waiting, each more cringe-worthy than the last.

With the bakery starting to thrive and a fictitious boyfriend no one has met keeping the peace with her family, what could possibly go wrong?

Now with her grandmother’s milestone birthday celebration looming, Missy has no choice: she needs a real date . . . and fast. Enter the last man she’d ever imagine asking for help — her polished, rule-following, decidedly unromantic train companion — and he wants nothing to do with her scheme.

What Missy doesn't realize is she is helping him instead.
