Briarwood was supposed to be my escape-a charming, sleepy town where the scent of cinnamon rolls wafts through the streets and heartbreak can be buried under layers of buttercream. But when I unearthed my grandmother’s old recipe book, I found more than just a forgotten chocolate éclair recipe. The past came alive, whispering secrets of love and mystery that were as bittersweet as the ingredients I bake with every day. Between running my bakery, The Sweet Spot, and piecing together the story behind my grandmother’s secret love affair, I wasn’t prepared for the whirlwind that was Adam Cole-best-selling author, quiet retreat-seeker, and walking temptation. He’s charming, intriguing, and dangerously creative. Just when I think I’m ready to let my guard down, a chance encounter with the town’s mysterious artist, Jake Hartman, stirs up a storm I didn’t see coming. Now I’m caught between two men, both tugging at different corners of my heart, while my grandmother’s love story urges me to embrace the sweet chaos that love-and life-can bring. With every new recipe and unexpected moment, I’m beginning to wonder: Can I bake my way to love, or am I destined to be left with the crumbs?
