To save her family's business, a small-town baker returns to a television competition that made her a national laughingstock, where her partner is the professional baseball player who broke her heart. -------------- When electrical sparks fly in my ailing bakery, I'm forced back to the reality TV baking show that made me a national laughingstock two years ago. Before the first challenge starts, my celebrity partner is revealed to be the pro baseball player who'd broken my heart after high school. The boy who left me behind has grown into the hottest man I've ever seen. I'm not 'Brody's girl' anymore, but the heat between us burns hotter than the ovens. When our proximity boosts the show's ratings, the producers request we fake falling for each other on-screen. We agree on one condition: a guaranteed spot in the finals, but when my flooded hotel room leaves us rooming together, all our first-love feelings come roaring back. With the cameras rolling and a secret Brody's hiding, there's more at stake than winning the competition. My heart on the chopping block, falling for him again could be the final c. 18+ for mature language and explicit content. Updates Mon | Weds | Fri - add to your reading list for notifications!

We've often read about men and their grovelling but now it's Maliah who's going to grovel till the very end to save the man she destroyed.

He was her first everything. She was the only thing he ever wanted to keep. Four years ago at a high school party, Lilly St. James asked Luke Richards to take her virginity. No one ever found out. They never spoke of it again. Now they're both at Trentwood University. She's a rising ballet star with a killer body, flirtatious charm, and a reputation for keeping things casual. He's the stoic, unshakable goalie with an NHL contract to protect and desires he can't risk sharing with anyone. Except Lilly. Because she's the only one who knows what he really wants. And he's the only one who knows how dark it got in her head. They don't hide anything from each other. That's always been their problem. So when she asks him to help her explore the fantasies no one else has ever made her feel safe enough to admit, he says no. Until one reckless night, he doesn't. What starts as a private, no-strings arrangement turns into something messy, addictive, and dangerously intimate. She's supposed to be just a list. He's supposed to stay detached. But the more control she gives him behind closed doors, the more he unravels outside of them. Because the truth is-he never forgot the sounds she made that night. And now that he's had a taste, letting her go again might destroy him. But the real threat isn't what they do together in the dark. It's what happens when the whole world finds out. Secrets they can live with. Shame is another story. Especially when it goes viral.

"What if I act like a brat?" Shivansh's eyes softened. "Then I'll pamper you even more, until you're too spoiled to stay mad." Tara laughed, and it was a sound that brought warmth to his chest.
