Hot Treats is known for its succulent desserts, especially the moist pies like cherry and strawberry. No one can resist the apple pies that are sinfully luscious. Advertising executive Bliss Johnson wants the Hot Treats account and will do almost anything to land it as she has a strategic plan that will make everyone want to take a bite of these delights.

First she must sell her ideas to the soon to be company's CEO Jasper "Jaz" Claybourn that she is the ad exec to sell his firm. Sharing ideas with this hunk will make quite a blissful summer for the ambitious female; especially if that includes testing the product in his bed. At his island getaway off Manhattan, they work together on the campaign while sharing the desserts of their success. However, just as she thinks she has found heavenly bliss when he is promoted, her boss' warning about mixing business with pleasure explodes, leaving her to wonder why she could get the cake, but not eat it too, unless he can persuade her that the delightful desserts are them together.

This is a delicious, erotic romance starring two believable, likable protagonists ably supported by a sold secondary cast, which includes a heated May-December romance. The storyline is filled with humor and sex as Bliss and Jaz cannot get enough HOT TREATS, the type that reduces calories. Subgenre fans will enjoy the torrid exploits of the ad exec and the CEO as they bake a delightful, tasty relationship built on a recipe of love.
