Love and Paklava

She loves her life in San Francisco painting nails by day and playing jazz by night. But now that she's a bridesmaid in the wedding of one of her best friends it feels like everyone is pairing off and she can't find a seat in a game of musical chairs.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>When a last-minute errand forces Tori to book a caterer two hundred miles away in Fresno she meets a burly Armenian baker with an offer she can't refuse. Vahe Derderian is used to big-city folks dissing his hometown so when Tori runs her mouth about California's heartland they make a bet. If she can prove San Francisco is superior to the Central Valley he'll cater the wedding for free.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>The catch? If Vahe's victorious Tori's promised to lose her shirt-and her pants. She's never shied away from a casual fling so one more hookup shouldn't faze her. But Vahe sees past her bravado breaking down walls she's spent years fortifying. She's always believed that letting people in leads to heartbreak-so why does losing to him feel like winning?</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>As their wager turns into something real Tori must decide if love is worth the gamble-and whether their relationship can go the distance.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Whether you're living in a skyscraper or the suburbs you'll love this opposites-attract rom-com that celebrates culture cuisine and finding a place to call home.</span></p>
