SHE'S DEAD-SET AGAINST MARRIAGE... Claire Donovan came to Fort Worth to open a bakery and find independence, not a husband. For generations, a secret formula called "Magic" made Donovan family confections strangely irresistible...until Clair jilted the fiancé her family chose for her. Now they say, that her broken engagement branded their cakes bad luck—and their business will go bankrupt unless she ties the knot.... HE'D RATHER DIE THAN SAY "I DO." The most eligible bachelor in town, sexy Tye McBride steers clear of marriage-hungry females. Once betrayed by love, he's vowed never to go soft over a lady again. Besides, he has his hands full minding his mischievous nieces, known as the McBride Menaces. But now that his lawyer has told him to either wed or lose guardianship, he sees Claire Donovan as the perfect bride, in name only—except something about her makes him dizzy with desire. And something about him makes her breathless. Something could complicate their best-laid plans. Something like...magic.
