Graduate, then move on to taking over the family business just like my father did…and his father…and his father.
But even though my talents fall in line with baking, my passion goes for fashion.
So when I ask my grandfather, the man who’s ultimately raised me over the years, if I can spend my summer in Paris, he ends up agreeing only if one condition is met—a replacement is found for my role here at the company.
And I have just the guy in mind…
Bridger Vargo has been working for my grandfather for over two decades now. He’d be the perfect fit in taking over, though he’s denied the opportunity a handful of times.
His excuse always coming back to his love for bread making, not for handling operations and countless headaches.
Though with Paris up in the air, I’m forced to face the facts. I either convince Bridger to take my place in line or accept my undeniable fate…
Somehow finding an attraction to my target’s persona, I see my passion quickly turn as I become this little baker…for Daddy.
❥ If you enjoy steamy short reads with a touch of ddlg, then you’ll love my Please Me, Daddy series. Each book is a standalone romance, so feel free to read in any order you please. No cliffhangers and no cheating. Just a HEA, every steamy time.
Family is everything, and when a family falls apart, it can impact an individual’s whole life. Allie Mulberry understood family; she knew the devotion that her grandfather, Linc had shared for years with his wife. Together, they had created a business—Mulberry Bakery—and they had started a family with the birth of Allie’s dad. And for a while her dad and his best friend, Bridger Vargo had worked together at the family bakery.
But things do fall apart. Allie’s father and mother met, started a family and then married at a young age without the maturity to hold the family together. After Allie’s birth, her mom decided that she was not the family type. And, while he had his mom and dad, Allie’s dad was not strong enough to fight off his addictive demons as he tried to cope with the disappointments of life. So, Allie grew up at the bakery, learning the secrets of bread under the loving care of her grandparents, her dad’s childhood friend Bridger, and for a while, her dad until he succumbed to the demons of his addictions.
Now, after running the best bakery in town for 52 years, Linc has begun to step back, turning much of the daily baking responsibilities over—not to his absent son, but to his son’s best friend, Bridger. While in college, Allie had bounced from major to major, seeking any path different than the family business. So, when Allie comes to the bakery wanting her grandfather’s financial support to travel with friends to Paris to try her luck and talents in the fashion industry, she finds Bridger manning the bakery, not her granddad, and a line of customers waiting to enter the bakery with no line-breaking allowed—not even for the owner’s granddaughter! And, the 20-yr-old petite, blue-eyed brunette with amazingly long legs for her diminutive stature, discovers that she must negotiate her financing with her dad’s best friend, Bridger, the tall, handsome, well-built man with curly hair, who runs the business. And, Bridger understands the importance of family as a widower with a 3-year-old-son, Dax.

Will she be able to convince him or will she stay and take over the company herself?

I liked this one- Allie wants to go to Paris but her grandfather wants her to take over his bakery. Bridger is a family friend that knows the bakery business, he also has a son. There’s a misunderstanding but things end well for the couple.
