Vi has one goal in life—win the Patisserie Grand Prix and land a position under her mentor, Gita Roca, in Barcelona. When her boss derails her plans, she changes gears and moves to Maple Cove. She’ll get to that competition, and this time she won’t let a man get in the way.
Noah is about to buy a renovator’s dream. The long-abandoned Thorne Manor on Diablo Hill is falling apart, but he knows he can restore the eccentric estate to its Art Deco heritage. When newcomer Vi tries to convince him to sell the commercial kitchen to her, he sees a chance to make some extra money.
What he didn’t see was her feistiness stirring his dormant heart. He thinks he’s ready to show his scars and his true self, but when tragedy strikes, he won’t have time to think. Will he lose Vi just as he’s ready to trust love again?
Beauty and the Bulldog is the second book in the sweet romance series, Maple Cove Dog Lovers’ Society.
