The Irrefutable Flame⎪✓
"As you said yourself, you know me." "But I don't, not really," He starts, studying my body swiftly and making my breath catch in my throat. Shivers torture me when he smiles, "You've changed and I can feel it." "You won't get to know the new me," I declare, not knowing how honest I'm being by declaring such desperate nonsense. "And why is that?" He says, taking a step closer to me, gradually caging me in with the kitchen counter behind me. "Worried it'll reopen feelings?" "You don't make me nervous, Elijah," I lie smoothly. "I beg to differ, love." ******* They've been through absolute hell and back, both of them fighting and struggling to stay afloat in the ruthless drift that is life. They need each other, but are too broken to realize. Three years after Dakota's sudden departure from Barnsley, they find each other for the last time, will their love be enough or is the past simply too much for them? ******* THE THIRD AND FINAL BOOK OF THE FLAME SERIES Highest rankings: 2nd place in #confidentComplete

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.

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.
