❝ Old grudges clash with new ambitions, threatening to shatter everything she holds dear. ❞
In the cozy town of Valedge, Cassidy Bennett has poured her heart and soul into Sugar & Spice, the beloved bakery where the ovens are always warm and the door is always open. It's more than just a business. It's her legacy, her sanctuary, and the heartbeat of a close-knit community.
But everything changes when Landon Reed returns to town. Once her high school rival, he's now a savvy developer with big plans to transform Valedge into a bustling shopping center. His first move? He sets his sights on the very block where Cassidy's bakery has stood for years.
Old sparks fly when Cassidy and Landon clash. Their long-buried past simmers beneath every tense encounter. What begins as a battle for the soul of the town quickly becomes more complicated and far more personal.
With the future of Sugar & Spice hanging in the balance, Cassidy must decide how much she's willing to risk. Because if she stands firm, it can save everything she loves. But if she lets her guard down, everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and the fine line between hate and something far more dangerous can change.
