Overview

She's spent sixteen years keeping everyone at arm's length. He's about to change that-whether she likes it or not. Kate Doyle knows exactly who she is: the baker who opens Flour & Vine at 4 AM, the daughter who holds her family together, the woman who learned the hard way that trusting someone only gets you hurt. At 38, she's built a life she's proud of in Carnation, Washington-a life that doesn't include room for a man like Nate Carrigan. Nate is everything Kate doesn't want. A development consultant from Seattle, he's slick, successful, and working for the company that wants to turn her family's farmland into eighty luxury homes. He's the enemy. He's also the first man in years who's made her feel anything at all. When Kate's father suffers a heart attack, her carefully controlled world starts to crack. And Nate keeps showing up-not with pressure or persuasion, but with coffee from her own bakery and a way of looking at her like she's the most interesting thing in any room. Against every instinct, Kate finds herself falling for him. Late nights in his cottage. Early mornings making bread. A connection that feels terrifyingly real. But Nate is hiding something. A folder on his kitchen table. Notes in his handwriting. Her family's name on a list of targets. When Kate discovers the truth, she'll have to decide if the man she's fallen for is the same one who was sent to destroy everything she loves-and whether some betrayals can ever be forgiven. The Slowest Burn is a contemporary romance about trust, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to let someone in. It features a fiercely independent heroine, a hero who has to earn his redemption, a tight-knit family you'll want to join for Sunday dinner, and a love story that proves some things are worth the risk. Book One of The Doyles of Tolt series.
