Thea Montgomery is the sister of Shep from Delicate Ink. Dimitri is divorced from her best friend Molly. She has a game night and invites him, after everyone leaves they kiss. They also have sex, but almost immediately after, Thea has regrets on her face. Then he gets a phone call and leaves, Thea says they are done, but Dimitri says they are not. Thea talks to Molly and she says she supports a relationship between them, but then things start happening. Her bakery is damaged, she and her brother in law are injured, a flour order is wrong, she feeds Dimitri shrimp and he is allergic. Thea thinks its Molly doing all these things, and she's right.
They admit they love each other, and they get his dog back from Molly, he couldn't have him at his apartment. Everything is cleared up at the end of the book. I hope the next book is about the Brother in law who is married to Thea's sister Roxie.
