Treat Yourself: A Steamy Sweet Halloween Romance
Anita Blake
Jemma
Cupcakery Bakery is my business baby and I want more than anything to make it a success, which is why I chose to give up a personal life and any semblance of sleep long ago.
So when I’m asked to cater the biggest Halloween party in town, I’m all over the opportunity like sprinkles on buttercream frosting. No sleep? No problem. I’ve got this.
Until I don’t.
The workload of prepping for the party and keeping up with daily operations quickly piles up, and soon just looking at cupcakes has me on the brink of tears.
And when the sexy carpenter next door finally asks me out and he’s everything I’ve ever wanted, it breaks my heart to have to tell him I just don’t have time for love.
I feel like I’m being forced to choose between business and pleasure, and the confusing thing is I thought Cupcakery Bakery was my pleasure…
Can I juggle this party and my business without burning myself out? Will I ever have time for love? Is it possible to have my cake and eat it, too?

My construction company is just that—a company. There’s no pleasure involved and there hasn’t been for a long time. Until I meet Jemma.
She’s a curvy, sexy, spunky bakery shop owner with enough enthusiasm to light up this whole town, and my heart.
When she tells me she’s too busy for a date, I offer my woodworking services just to spend time with her, and soon I’m reminded why I started my business in the first place.
She reignites my muse, and it’s clear we’re meant for each other from the start.
But this Halloween party has her heading for some major burnout, and Jemma is convinced she has to choose between me and her bakery dreams.
I can’t let Jemma lose her spark, especially not when it’s the thing that brought mine back to life.
She desperately needs a break, but Jemma’s too stubborn to give herself one.
Looks like it’s up to me to show this hard-working woman how to treat herself…
