She's the woman who hides her scars beneath titanium and silk. She's the chef who wears her truth like a crown. When fire meets flame, can love still be tender? Angel Morgan, a brilliant tech CEO, has built an empire on innovation-but behind every boardroom victory are secrets she's kept hidden for years. Her prosthetic arms, the trauma of a childhood accident, and an abusive ex are ghosts she's mastered how to silence. Jordan Blake is everything Angel isn't-bold, proudly intersex, a celebrated chef who lives unapologetically. When a chance encounter at a charity gala draws them into each other's orbit, both women feel the heat-but neither is ready for the firestorm that follows. As secrets unravel, family truths emerge, and an unexpected love grows, they must decide what they're willing to risk to build the future they never believed possible.

Sweet Like Hello (Book 2 Hello Series) by redladiebug

She's a single mom with something to prove. He's a burned-out pastry chef with walls taller than his layer cakes. The kitchen isn't big enough for the tension simmering between them-but neither one's backing down. Abby Meeks is no stranger to hard work. As a single mom to a spirited three-year-old, she's used to juggling chaos with a smile and a to-go coffee. So when she lands the manager position at Marino's Bakery-Baltimore's trendiest new café-she's ready to prove herself. What she's not ready for is Julian Marino. Julian walked away from the high-stakes D.C. pastry scene for a quieter life, but he didn't count on hiring a manager who challenges his every decision... or whose laugh sticks with him long after closing time. Abby is too stubborn, too creative, and far too distracting for a man who's sworn off complications-and she's made it clear she's not looking for anything more than a paycheck and a fresh start. But flour flies, cinnamon ratios are challenged, and the heat between them starts rising faster than his sourdough starter. When secrets from Julian's past surface-and Abby's carefully balanced world threatens to tip-the line between enemies and something more gets dangerously thin. Because sometimes the recipe for love starts with a little too much spice... and ends with something sweet like hello.

☕ Sugar & Steam (ForceBook) by Boys_in_Bloom

When Force walks away from a corporate job to renovate a forgotten café in his hometown, the last thing he expects is to be saddled with a business partner-especially one like Book. Book is everything Force isn't: loud, unpredictable, messy, and too charming for his own good. He also happens to be an incredibly talented pastry chef... and dangerously good at pushing Force's buttons. Between spilled flour, shared late nights, and stolen glances across the kitchen counter, the tension between them starts to rise-hot, undeniable, and impossible to ignore. One reckless kiss turns into something deeper. One night becomes two, and then many. But lust is easy. Love? That's where things get complicated. As the café begins to thrive, so does their connection-until fear, pride, and past wounds threaten to tear it all down. In a world full of burnt coffee, broken ovens, and beautiful mistakes, Force and Book will learn that some things are worth risking everything for... especially each other.
