A wary programmer needs a mysterious ex-military hero to uncover the culprit behind the deadly attacks on her and her bestie. Him keeping Nieve alive is a welcome bonus, as are the boxes of her favorite caramel chocolates he brings. But will she listen when her shattered heart cries out louder than her sweet tooth?

Her heart and ribs once broken by a sweet-talking abuser, Nieve Valle decides the only sweets she wants in her life are candies and baked goods—and ice cream. Lots of ice cream. But her quiet life and cozy plan to eat ice cream and chocolates—and okay, pastries—in bed is blown up when she almost gets into a car wired with a bomb.

Then a charming stranger with dangerous secrets develops a habit of saving her and her best friend’s lives, and Nieve needs his help to find the culprit—while not shooting herself in the foot, literally. Dare she choose to risk her heart again?

For years, Remington Franco’s goal was to avenge his fiancée’s death. Now, the retired military hero needs to fulfill his promise to a friend before he can return to that dangerous life. No matter how much he’s drawn to the sweet and delectable Nieve. But as his hardened heart melts like chocolates in her hand, will he choose love or revenge?
