New Roots by Allison Bettes

She spends her days baking cinnamon rolls. She didn’t expect to fall for one.

Stella Nielsen’s life is simple—days spent at her Scandinavian bakery and staying away from trouble. But when a customer’s attention turns from stalking to threatening, simple disappears fast.
Axel Skarsgård, a military veteran with a talent for uncovering what others want buried, is brought in to help. He’s devastatingly handsome, quietly intense, and exactly the kind of distraction Stella doesn’t need in her life.

As the threat against Stella escalates, so does the pull between them, blurring the lines between professional and personal. For Stella, dating is a distraction, and absolutely not on the menu.
With danger closing in, it becomes clear Stella faces the risk not only from the man watching her from the shadows…but from the powerful attraction to the one standing right in front of her.

Some warning signs are easy to spot.
Others smell like cinnamon and look like trouble.
