When I started posting my stories online, I didn't expect much traction. It was a fun outlet for the ideas I had swirling around my head. My husband supported my crazy storylines and listened to me narrate out loud the silly plots I planned to write. When a publisher contacted me to see if I would be interested in releasing one of my stories, I thought I was dreaming. I soon discovered it was all a prank and my favourite hobby turned my world into a real life storyline of betrayal and heartbreak. TW: - Online abuse/bullying - Betrayal by H (no cheating)

When Piper leaves the city to take over her grandmother's beloved bakery, she's expecting early mornings, flour-dusted hands, and a chance to rebuild something meaningful. What she doesn't expect is Flynn- the charming, steady regular who quickly becomes the best part of her day, and then her life. For a while, it's easy. Effortless. Real. Until Harriett comes back. Flynn's childhood best friend crashes back into town, and within seventy two hours, everything Piper thought she knew begins to unravel. Boundaries blur, truths twist, and one moment overheard is enough to shatter the fragile trust Piper had been building. Walking away should be simple. Necessary, even. But Flynn isn't ready to let her go. Not when he finally understands what he's about to lose. Determined to make things right, Flynn is forced to confront the loyalty he's clung to for years, and the damage it's caused. Because winning Piper back won't take words. It will take tearing down everything he thought mattered and proving, step by painful step, that she comes first. In a story about love, loyalty, and the courage to choose differently, Piper must decide if broken trust can ever be rebuilt, or if some betrayals leave behind nothing but bitter truths.
