Newly divorced, Avery Hart returns home to Wildwood eager to take on her dream opportunity and transform her family's dive bar into her own bakery. The contractor for hire isn't just a master with his hands--he's big, built, and wears a tool belt like nobody's business. Despite being an ex-con, Trace Hutton is irresistible. Too bad he'd never go for someone as inexperienced as Avery.

Trace needs to focus on the job at hand, not daydream about smearing icing all over the sexy baker...and licking it off. This job is the key to getting his construction company back on its feet after his time in prison. Besides, no one deserves a fresh start more than Avery, and she certainly won't get that with him.

After a delectable night of passion (and pie), Trace craves something more. But he'll be damned if he'll let his checkered past crush her dreams. And as Avery starts to realize how Trace fulfills more than just her physical needs, she struggles with whether to let her history decide her future, or explore the wild new possibilities of forever...
