Blame It On the Frosting

By Samantha Hunter

What’s the harm in a little cookie nookie?

When the secret formula to Chicago baker Amie Patterson’s biggest seller is stolen, her Passionate Hearts cookies are in danger of being lost forever, and with them, her biggest profits. To make matters worse, the cookie frosting inadvertently inspired a hot clinch with her best friend and business partner, Nathan Ellison.

It was just a fluke—she would never endanger her friendship with Nate—but she can't ignore her attraction, and when it turns out one of Nathan’s academic colleagues is the thief, Amie fears she’ll lose everything—her bakery, her friend, and everything else that matters.

Nathan isn’t about to let that happen, though. He’s a certified genius—and he’s also been in love with his best friend for years. However, saving the day might mean risking his professional reputation or losing Amie forever.
