After all, not many people would sacrifice their lives to run the family bakery and raise a younger sibling.

Book Description
A fan favorite from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Sweet Spot and Sweet Trouble: “Smart, sexy romance doesn’t get any better than this.” —Debbie Macomber Is there anything sweeter than first love? Don’t ask Claire Keyes. The twenty-eight-year-old piano prodigy has never had a regular boyfriend, much less a real romance. Her music career has left little room for friends or family—which is just part of the reason she hasn’t seen the family bakery or her two sisters in years. But now Nicole is sick, and Jesse is AWOL. Despite the fact that Claire can’t boil water, she’s determined to play caretaker. Connecting with her sisters tops her to-do list . . . along with falling in love, or at least in lust, for the first time. Ruggedly sexy Wyatt just might fit the bill. Although he keeps saying that he and Claire come from entirely different worlds, he lights up hotter than a bakery oven whenever Claire is near. If this keeps up, she just might sweet-talk him into her bed . . . and her life. “One of those stories you don’t want to end. It has plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and just the right amount of lump-in-your-throat moments . . . This is the first of the Bakery Sisters trilogy, and will be a hard act to follow.” —Fresh Fiction “Romantic, daring, and hopeful . . . Sweet Talk is definitely a winner.” —Single Titles “Susan Mallery has whipped up a cast of fun, eccentric characters who will keep readers turning the pages.” —Romance Reviews Today
