A Much Kneaded Union

By: KE Monteith

Ashley and Mason have a famous rivalry in Snowfall Valley. She derails his shipments, he serenades her with a mariachi band after bedtime.

But there’s a new storefront available, right on the main road, and neither of these cafe owners can afford it on their own … unless they apply for the small business grant … for married couples.

A marriage of convenience for a thriving business. It’s not that bad of a deal, right? But when their proposal goes viral and the town goes crazy over the two finally getting together, their little scheme is under a lot more scrutiny than they expected.

Now Mason and Ashley have to sell their romance to the town, the cameras, and even Ashley’s judgmental parents before they can call their plan a success.
