✔Cupcakes to Kill For

SUMMARY

Murder, coming fresh off the oven of Mad Batter.

Young baker Casey Lockhart was looking forward to lazy days tucked under the covers that bone-chilling winter, but life had other plans for him. Nothing could prepare him for the tragedy that hits their family, but Casey's trying to stay strong for himself and his two-year-old son, Wyatt.

Meeting the mysterious gangster, August, turns Casey's mundane life upside down and only makes it harder to trust anyone. As they grow closer, Casey realizes he's falling hard for the charming young man, who's nothing but trouble. Is he really someone trustworthy or is it possible he gave his heart away to a ruthless killer?

If Casey doesn't uncover the truth quick enough, someone might take him out of the kitchen for good.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

This story always held a special place in my heart but I never could bring myself to write it again after getting discouraged to continue it. Sometimes it's easy to get swept up in making a story so "perfect" that we lose inspiration entirely for it. I felt like it was just too cringeworthy and ridiculous to even continue. It reached a point where hating my writing became self-hatred and that was no fun! But after letting it set for so long and learning more about writing, I'm ready to get back to this story (I'm still no pro, but I'm gonna give it my best) I've changed a lot since my first draft here in early 2018 (so fucking glad we have a cupcake emoji now. xD I was using freaking cake slices back then!) And I'm very excited to bring these characters' story back to life!

Unlike before, this story now takes place in the fictional urban midwestern town of New Syracuse. NOT NEW YORK. You might even see some familiar faces if you've read my Paint Me a Murder series ;)
