His marketing team signs him up for the WBBS Christmas charity show, but he’s convinced he’ll fall at the first hurdle. Only, after a few days in the competition, his worry isn’t that he’ll be the first to leave, it’s that he’ll lose his heart to a rival baker, Brody.

Leo Byrne has never questioned his place in the world—adopted into the sprawling Byrnes family, surrounded by love, and dedicated to his job as a cop.

The only safe place left is in the arms of the cop, who shouldn’t want anything to do with him. But Jason knows the truth has a way of destroying everything in its path, and if Leo discovers the secrets he’s still keeping, Jason might lose the only chance he has at love—and the only family he’s ever wanted.
