Nailed It meets You’ve Got Mail in Batch of Love
A small-town baker with dreams of moving out of the mall’s food court and opening her own brick-and-mortar bakery enters a baking competition for a chance to win $25,000. But instead of winning the grand prize, she finds herself in the middle of her ex’s plan to acquire her business for a big box retailer.
Two years ago, Ginger opened a bakery, Ginger’s Goodies, to honor a promise she made to her late mother. Ready to take her business to the next level, Ginger enters a baking competition hosted by big box retailer, Decadent Dough. What she doesn't count on is running into her high school ex, Brock Pearson, who works for the company.
Instead of joining his father’s firm, The Pearson Group, Brock Pearson was eager to prove he could be successful outside of his father’s shadow and joined the legal team at Decadent Dough thirteen years ago. When his mentor retires, he throws his hat in the ring to become his successor. The job is his if he can find potential acquisitions, one of which is Ginger's Goodies.
For Ginger, joining Decadent Dough is a hard NO.
However, Brock will not back down easily because now he wants to win her heart again.
And just when Brock and Ginger were at the precipice of sealing the deal of love....
Brock's boss learns Ginger is the daughter of his college rival. Now, he will stop at nothing to destroy her business. To make matters worse, he convinced Ginger that Brock is part of his scheme. To prove his innocence, Brock may lose his shot at the promotion he's coveted and the career he's worked so hard for.
Ginger and Brock's careers and hearts hang in the balance. Which is more important than the other?

Book Excerpt
Brock led her to the same table they sat at a few days ago when he asked her to join him for coffee. He pulled out Ginger’s chair and waited for her to sit before taking the seat across from her.
“So, what’s up?” Her smile and eyes were still bright and receptive. He’d almost asked her out again, but he had to focus so that he’d know whether he needed to look somewhere else for Decadent Dough. Time wasn’t on his side if he wanted to secure his mentor, Andrew’s position when he retired.
“We didn’t talk much about my work at Decadent Dough, but I’d like to run something by you to get your thoughts.”
Her eyebrows dipped and her smile weakened. She looked as if she wanted to help him if she could. Was that guilt because of how she ended their relationship?
“Okay, what’s that?”
“I work on the mergers and acquisitions team, and I have a proposition for you.”
“The softness in her eyes vanished and her face sagged. Her disappointment was evident. “The answer is no.”
“You didn’t even hear what I had to say.”
“You’ve said enough. The answer is no. I know enough about Decadent Dough to know I’m not interested. Is that all?” The sides of her lips turned down and her eyebrows crinkled.
“Decadent Dough is looking for businesses to partner with to expand their product offerings.”
Ginger threw her head back and chuckled. “You’re kidding, right? You cannot be serious.” She huffed and blinked and threw her hands in the air. “Is that what this is all about? I thought…well, never mind what I thought. You’re still the same person I thought you were. And as far as Decadent Dough, you and I both know they’re only concerned with themselves and their bottom line. They’ll take my recipes, and I’ll be out on my behind. Nothing about this—” she used air quotes— “‘deal’ works for me, so thanks for thinking of me, Brock, but that’ll be a hard no. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to running my business.”About the Author
Natasha D. Frazier fell in love with love around the age of twelve because of artists like Babyface, Boys II Men, Whitney Houston, and New Edition. Around sixteen when her mother purchased a romance novel and left it lying around the house untouched, Natasha read it and a spark for the written word had been ignited.
Natasha believes that writing is one of her purposes and contributions to the world. She feels accomplished when she can get a few words written and like blah when life gets in the way. Her hope is that at the end of every novel, readers will feel like they’ve been wrapped in a cozy blanket with a mug of their favorite coffee/tea/warm drink.
When she isn’t reading or writing, she is likely watching movies with her family. Natasha resides in Richmond, TX with her husband, Eddie Frazier, Jr. and their three children, Eden, Ethan, and Emilyn. Her greatest joy and commitment is to her family who she hopes to inspire above all else. One of her many mottos in life is: Faith removes limitations. Natasha and her family attend Parkway Fellowship in Richmond, TX, where she volunteers as a small group leader for elementary students. Natasha is also a member of the Houston Area Alumni Chapter of Jackson State University and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
