Don''t you just hate it when unpleasant guys strip off and they''re disgustingly tanned, toned and attractive under their clothes? Facing down a shirtless Miles Appleton - best friend to her brother-in-law - Betty is reminded both of everything she dislikes about the talented pastry chef, and how annoyingly gorgeous he is. Boathouse Cottage was meant to be a sanctuary for Betty and her beloved rescue Shetland Pony, Pumpkin, but it seems Fate isn''t done messing with her just yet... Now, as her sister''s marriage implodes and the family cottage in St Aiden becomes a bargaining chip that needs to be protected, Betty and Miles go head to head. Miles''s baking experiments may have produced the best thing Betty''s ever tasted - but she can''t afford to be swayed by his delicious croissant campaign. Or can she? Because as Betty soon realises, there might be more to gain from aligning with the talented baker than fighting against the temptation he and his pastries pose...

On days when she wants to be really scared, she rides a tandem.
