Bitter Sweet

A woman betrayed Deb's disastrous first marriage is behind her and she's worked hard, regaining her confidence while building the best bakery in Marcus, Montana. But it's a mixed blessing. She can't keep up with the demand, and Marcus Bank is hounding her to expand and pay off her debt, sending investors she doesn't want. Especially when those "investors" speak Russian, carry concealed weapons, and make threats. A man struggling to find himself Michael Acer didn't want to leave the Army, but his injuries meant he couldn't stay. He's started a successful home improvement business in his home town despite his disabilities. Although he loves living in the mountains, a civilian business doesn't offer the same sense of purpose and he misses the military friends he left behind. While repairing Deb's bakery, Michael dreams of nights at home with the curvy beauty. But the award-winning businesswoman doesn't need a volatile veteran complicating her life. Then Deb's prospective "investors" increase their threats to physical violence. Guarding Deb and her bakery gives Michael his life meaning. Long nights lead to growing attraction and affection. But Deb has misjudged men before-can she trust Michael with her heart?
