Year of Living Blonde (Sweet Life in Seattle Book 1)

Natalie, a bakery owner in Seattle, is blindsided when her husband announces on their fourteenth wedding anniversary that he's leaving her for another woman—one thirteen years his senior. Humiliated and angry, Natalie leans on her wild sister and business partner, who convince her to get a makeover, including dyeing her mousy hair blonde. As Natalie works to expand her bakery, she clashes with Anthony Novello, her annoyingly handsome landlord and an astronomer. Women typically find him charming, but Natalie proves difficult. When Anthony returns from an observing run, he notices an unexpected attraction between them. Despite her reservations, Natalie agrees to date him, and their relationship deepens beyond what either anticipated. When her ex-husband realizes his mistake and attempts to win her back, Natalie must decide between her old life and the new one she's building with Anthony.
