He asked for a housekeeper. She sent him a woman with a whisk, a will, and no intention of taking orders.
Sheriff Colt Maddox never meant to ask for a bride. He simply wanted a decent cook and a clean house—was that too much to ask? Apparently so, because the letter he sent ended up on the desk of Miss Mabel, San Francisco’s most notorious matchmaker. And Miss Mabel doesn’t believe in housekeepers. She believes in happily ever afters.
Maggie Prescott has three rules: never settle, never trust a man with a badge, and never, under any circumstances, bake for someone who doesn’t appreciate a good cinnamon roll. So when she steps off the stagecoach and meets the gruff, flustered sheriff who clearly wasn’t expecting her, she’s tempted to turn right back around. But Cypress Hill needs her pies—and despite his scowl, Sheriff Maddox might need her too.
What starts as a case of mistaken matchmaking soon turns into a battle of stubborn hearts. Colt isn’t looking for love, and Maggie isn’t looking for trouble—but sometimes, love shows up wearing a tin star and tracking flour across your clean kitchen floor.
