Norah is certain that fake dating the cocky silent investor of her bakery could be messy...but that's what aprons are for.

Norah Donahue wants to run bakeries not have babies, but her matchmaking mother won't stop trying to play Cupid. She has her hands full getting her new business off the ground while dealing with her frustratingly flirty financial partner, Dean.

Dean Moser is a cocky stock market savant whose friends are all settling down, leaving Boulder's infamous ladies' man all alone. Recently he's set his sights on Norah, who brushes off his advances like flour from her apron.

But when Norah needs a fake date for her parents' anniversary party, her new silent investor might be just the guy for the job. He's charismatic, successful, and too much of a playboy to take it seriously. It seems like a foolproof plan...

That is, until Norah decides to break her biggest rule and lock lips with Dean in the middle of the party.

Turns out that Dean and Norah's chemistry is sizzling hot, but mixing business with pleasure could turn out to be a recipe for disaster.

Or maybe they can have their cake and eat it too.
