Another laugh-out-loud love story from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shirley Jump's wickedly delightful Sweet and Savory Romances series. It's the Sweetest Mess to Date When Olivia Regan bids on a sexy Boston celebrity at a charity auction, her intentions are not what they seem. Plagued by a never-ending cycle of failed marketing plans for her pastry business, Olivia is sure that her newest ploy--with charming playboy Daniel Worth at the center--will succeed. Well, as long as she can resist his deep blue eyes and million-dollar smile. Daniel Worth has never felt like he had a purpose in life and wants a taste of the determined drive he sees in the fiery Olivia. He's intrigued by Olivia and her high-priced bid--as well as the fact that he can't buy her in return. Olivia's beauty and fight-to-the-end attitude drive Daniel to put his inheritance at risk and take a chance on the irresistible pastry chef, even if falling for her means treading on dangerous ground. Olivia is determined to protect her wounded heart, but soon realizes bidding on Daniel Worth has created a mess, not just in her business, but also in her heart! *Special bonus material: Recipes written by the characters inside!* This title was originally released as The Bachelor Preferred Pastry in 2006.
