Time to Rise (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662511530)

It's her struggling bakery. But it's his reality show. More than tempers will flare in a warmhearted and positively delicious opposites-attract romantic comedy.

Nora Jansson will do anything to save her parents' beloved bakery from bankruptcy, even if it means allowing a TV reality crew into her kitchen and her life. Not to mention celebrity pastry chef Henrik Eklund, its impossibly rude host who's happy to point out Nora's baking missteps--on cue. It's bringing out her feisty side.

Nora's sourdough starter isn't exactly Henrik's biggest worry. His popularity is slipping, and his production team has an idea for making this a blockbuster season: fake flirt. A spicy enemies-to-friends romance will be good for the show and a boon to Nora's business. So, for the cameras, let the sparks fly.

Somewhere between saffron buns and after-hours mulled wine socials, Nora's seeing a gentler side to the charismatic star. And Henrik is getting closer to Nora--not just on-screen. What's pretend and what's getting real? Soon there will be more on the line than high ratings and the bakery's survival.
