To the rest of the city, Vincenzo Moretti is a monster—a cold-blooded mafia overlord who rules through obsession and absolute control. He is used to people trembling at his feet, but his world is tilted off its axis the moment he walks into a small, flour-dusted shop on the corner of 5th and Main.
Leo Park is the heart of "The Sweet Spot." With a delicate, feminine grace and a rolling pin that he isn’t afraid to use as a weapon, Leo is the only person who doesn't blink when Vincenzo’s black SUVs line the curb. While Vincenzo is used to being the hunter, he quickly finds himself caught in Leo’s orbit, unable to look away from the pretty baker who smells like vanilla and doesn't take anyone’s nonsense.
Vincenzo wants to own Leo, to wrap him in silk and lock him away from the world’s grime. But Leo has other plans. He’ll let the "Don" into his life, but only if he leaves the guns at the door and learns how to wash a dish.
It’s a dangerous game of power where the stakes are high and the bread is always fresh. Vincenzo might rule the city, but in this bakery, Leo is the one in charge.
