Welcome to Autumn Fest�sweet treats, entertaining company, and a tender romance.
Piper Noble feels like she�s going places.� Her business, the Poppin� Fresh Bakery, is a culinary success story. Next on her to-do list is expanding the bakery into the vacant shop next door�and starting a new diet, like her mom keeps nagging her to.� But when Joe Montoya steps into her life, her grand plans grind to a sudden halt.
Joe�s taken a big risk returning to Whistle Stop.� But with his disastrous marriage over, it�s time for a fresh start, including opening a coffee shop�and coming to terms with his troubled past.� Though his neighbor Piper looks like she�ll be a big distraction in getting Fill-It-Up Joe off the ground�with her honeyed smile, �curvy goodness, and her unflagging determination to grab his storefront.
However, when Piper and Joe are elected as co-chairs of a fundraising committee to help the town�s revitalization project, the hostilities must cease. Joe�s not sure about spending time with a woman who, one moment, reminds him of all the good things he�s been missing, and the next minute drives him up a wall with her stubbornness. Meanwhile, Piper�s looking for the way to this gorgeous but grouchy guy�s heart�maybe serving him one of her fresh-from-the-oven pastries could be just the right start�
