    Summary

    George Russell is one of America's most renowned pastry chefs. If only he could convince Clay to let him stop taking these wedding cake special orders. He hates wedding cakes. And he especially hates dealing with brides. He'll just handle this last one, for this Bertha Connolly, and then he'll get back to what he actually enjoys.

    In which George is grumpy but besotted, Bertha is engaged to someone who definitely isn't him, and the rest of our cast of characters have to deal with all the headaches that ensue from those two central facts.

    Summary

    She’s been on her feet for twelve hours when she first sees him. Angela had called in sick at the last minute, and God knows Bertha can always use the extra cash. She barely makes anything waitressing to begin with.

    He comes into Leonardi’s and sits down at a booth without waiting. It’s not like it’s against the rules or anything, but most people look at her and wait to be gestured to an appropriate seat.

    But he’s not most people. She can tell that already. It’s not just that he sits and stands like he owns the place, or that he’s wearing a black suit jacket that looks like it was tailored just for those broad shoulders—it’s that when that jacket swings back as he sits, she catches a glimpse of bulge tucked into the back of his waistband, and she’s been around the block long enough to know what that means.

     

    In which George Russell is an up-and-coming "businessman" who meets a very pretty waitress with big dreams.
