When life gives you lemons, make love—or at least try not to throw them at your handsome hockey neighbor.
Maria has perfected the art of baking, but when it comes to love, she’s far from mastering the recipe. The closest she’s come to dating is running into her frustratingly handsome next-door neighbor, Lou, a man she’s disliked since he dashed her baking dreams. But when Lou continues to feign ignorance about the incident that sparked her resentment, Maria decides it’s time to ban him from her bakery for good.
Lou knows he’s superstitious when it comes to his hockey career, and he’s not about to mess with tradition—especially when it involves Maria’s life-changing lemon bars. He doesn’t even understand why the beautiful baker seems to hate him, but he’s determined to keep his lucky charm in his life, both on and off the ice.
With his playoff dreams on the line and her resentment going nowhere, he promises to change her mind.
Will they be able to call a truce on their lemon war, or will it end on a sour note?
