Excitement pumped through Owen’s veins despite the subhuman hour. Even though he’d been able to sleep in (somewhat—he was, after all, a farmer) on Saturdays for the last four and a half months while the farmers’ market in Camden Valley was on hiatus, opening weekend always filled him with the sort of electric buzz usually reserved for kids on Christmas morning. This year held a little extra kick because of the deal he’d struck with Cate.

Owen’s pulse flared, and he placed a hand on the cool granite countertop in front of him to ground himself. Cate hadn’t been kidding about unleashing hell in his kitchen. Over the past day and a half, he’d helped her scrub flour, sugar, and, in one unfortunate instance, molasses, from places in his house he hadn’t even known he had. To be fair, she had also taken her end of their agreement as serious as grand jury testimony. She’d baked dozens of loaves of quick breads, scones, biscuits, and cookies, packaging everything up in cellophane with red and white ribbons that matched the colors in Cross Creek’s logo. She’d even gone so far as to print specially designed labels on red and white stickers for each item, along with a complete list of ingredients in case anyone had food allergies. By the time they’d loaded everything up in crates and put it all in his truck at ten thirty last night, she’d grudgingly admitted there was a tiny chance this might not be a total failure.

Please, God, don’t let it be a total failure.

Owen poured half a pot of black coffee into the Thermos on the counter and dismissed the possibility. He’d meant what he said the other day in the office—she was an unbelievable baker, even if she was far too stubborn to admit it.

In fact, Cate was a lot of things he’d never realized. Over the past two nights, Owen had discovered her weakness for Hawaiian pizza (“Come on! Ham and pineapple on a pizza. It’s like a full-time luau for your mouth!”), her freakish ability to name a song after only hearing the first five seconds (“Seriously. How can you not tell that’s Thomas Rhett?”), and her secret love for Wonder Woman (“Between the lasso, the killer boots, and that invisible jet, who wouldn’t want to be that chick?”). Aside from some veiled flirting, they’d stuck to business—she took the whole work-when-we’re-at-work thing as seriously as he did, much to his dick’s chagrin. But Cate was the first woman he’d enjoyed spending time with in conservatively a dog’s age. He might’ve suffered through a couple of very cold showers after she’d gone home both nights, but he’d also given her the reins.

Which meant he’d let her set the pace, no matter how badly he wanted to strip her naked and put his mouth on every place that would make her sigh and shake and scream.

A crisp knock on his front door ripped Owen out of his dirty thoughts not a second too soon.
