Sweet and Salty - Paperback

A Curvy Small Town Baker and Her Reclusive New Neighbor. When sunshine meets grumpy, can their fake relationship turn into happily ever after?

Laura Marshall can't catch a break. Whether it's her rescue animals making life hard or her loser ex constantly begging for money, she can barely find time to get her muffins out of the oven, let alone find a date to the biggest wedding her town's ever seen.

Jesse Vanek has good reason to grumble. Dumped in the middle of rural hell by Witness Protection until his testimony puts a mob boss away, the only joy in the former veterinarian's day is the bubbly cutie who lives next door to his ramshackle cabin. When she's desperate, he agrees to be her plus-one at a town wedding.

Just to stick it to her terrible ex. Really.

Unused to a partner who goes the extra mile for her, Laura begins to wish he was more than a pretend boyfriend. Jesse struggles to ignore his growing feelings for the curvy girl next door, knowing he's lied to her from the start.

But this small town is full of secrets, and the mob is hot on Jesse's trail.

Can the truth set them all free?

Sweet and Salty is the feel-good first book in the Marshall My Heart small-town romance series. If you like kind and generous heroines, a pinch of suspense, and a heaping measure of humor, you'll fall for Natalie Cross's bakery-fresh page-turner.
