Break Down by Hope Malone

She’s a pastry chef with a sweet tooth. He’s a veteran who’s good with his hands, like really good. Can opposites attract when their worlds collide?

SKYE
My life is pies. Sweet pies, savory pies, pies of every shape and size.
But much as I love a good pastry, there’s something else I’d rather sink my teeth into. And there’s nothing wholesome about this delight.
My life revolves around Skye High Pies. From starting early in the morning, to going home covered in flour, and whatever filling I’ve been working on that day.
Sure I can afford a better car, but there are pluses to owning a clunker that breaks down on a regular basis. The biggest plus being Seth Adams, owner of Adams Towing.
He told me last time I broke down, that if it happened again, I’d be paying big time. I’ve got my fingers crossed that my credit card won’t be all he’s after.

SETH
There are pluses to owning your own business, even if it is only you and a tow truck.
The biggest plus of late is how often I’ve had to rescue Sky Fraser from wherever it is that dodgy car of hers has broken down. The woman is a menace, of the best kind.
But in saving her, am I also saving myself? There’s something about that curvy redhead that tells me she can see past my scars, no matter how well I’ve buried them.
Add in that she’s one sweet treat I wouldn’t mind sampling, and I may just be out of my league.
