All cookies are made with loveâeven if twenty-seven-year-old Karina CortĂŠs doesnât believe in the concept. For her, a simple life with no attachments is a good life. And her life is indeed goodâeven with her biggest accomplishment being passing the GED exam. Karina is able to secure an incredible and well-paying job at Singular Cookies, Inc., a small family-owned cookie manufacturing plant in Fort Pierce, Florida. And although the founders of the company treat her like family, Karina insists she doesnât need or want one. Not after her mother chose a man over her own daughter, pushing the young Karina to move out and make it on her own. And she couldnât be happier with her single life, unlike her friends, whose lives revolve around men. Work and play collide when she meets the companyâs hot new mechanic, Ian Feliciano, who stirs up feelings she tends to avoid. Karina knows she shouldnât date him, but sheâs strong; sheâll never turn pathetic like her friends or, especially, her mom. And with a looming plant inspection and trying to break up the CEO's new romance, Karina has enough to distract herself. As the inspection draws near and Karina battles her heart, sheâll have to decide whether to continue holding on to deeply ingrained beliefs that keep everyone at bay or learn that love is not as dangerous as she fears and that, in the end, it is our historyâour singular recipeâthat shapes how we live.
