Sweet Spot

From In the second book of the Bakery Sisters trilogy (Sweet Talk, 2008), Nicole Keyes, tired of being the �Responsible One,� wants�a life of her own.

But now life has a new twist for Nicole. When Raoul, a teenager in the foster-child program, steals some donuts from her bakery, she wants to call the cops. Instead of answering her complaint, the police call Raoul�s coach, Eric �Hawk� Hawkins,�who�convinces a reluctant Nicole to let the youth work off his theft. Mallery explores the many facets of family relationships, and�Nicole�s complex nonfamily involvements, in this heartwarming novel about�how a woman at odds with the world learns to live with it, and sometimes even love in it. --Shelley Mosley Product Description "Responsibility" should be Nicole Keyes's middle name. After all, not many people would sacrifice their lives to run the family bakery and raise a younger sibling. But with Nicole's twin sister now blissfully married and her younger sis turning out more femme fatale than girl-next-door, super reliable Nicole is getting sick of putting everyone else's needs first! Enter Hawk. The deliciously sexy former NFL player offers Nicole a taste of the freedom she craves. Hawk may know the way, blindfolded, to her sweet spot, but Nicole's not about to let him get close enough to break her heart. Of course, she might not have a choice in the matter if Hawk's past keeps getting in the way of their present.�
