After having worked with top European chefs, Sofia MacLean returned home to open her own bakery, Siùcar Fine Sweets. Between providing sweets for so many events and the store, everything was going according to plan and soon she could think about her franchise chain of confectioneries with only local products. Not even encounters with the unpleasantly handsome best man in her sister wedding Gabriel bothered her. Until numerous poisonings start appearing among the guests at the events and put everything she had built at risk.
Having succeeded so young, Gabriel Lanvini simply made it his goal to enjoy life to the fullest while he could, as he always knew his time would come sooner, just as it did for his mother. When he met the angry young pastry chef Sofia at his best friend's engagement dinner, he believed the inconvenience would be nothing more than a drink spilled on his shirt.
Among all the desserts and drama, Sofia must quickly figure out what is going on with her sweets before she loses her image, her bakery, and her dreams. Gabriel needs to decide if he is capable of reviewing the decisions he made so many years ago and opening up to new feelings. And together they will discover what the price of ambition and love are and how far they are willing to go to achieve them.
A compelling story about love, courage, trust and ambition, and how dangerous their opposites can be for everyone involved.
"As he tasted the dessert, Sofia followed his expression, but he was very good at show nothing. She had no way of knowing whether she would hear a compliment or a complaint. Given his history of irony, probably something to tease her about. But what she heard surprised her"

"Does he know your name?" "Nope," I shook my head. "But hey, it was like love at first sight," I said dreamily before snapping back to reality and looking at my best friend who gave me a weird look. "You have to help me," I said. "We're not going to the clothes store with me disguised as a girl again." "No," I groaned. "I want you to help me get him to notice me." My best friend's mouth opened then closed again before his eyes dropped to my boobs, "I mean, we can always start with that." "What? No!" I crossed my arms over my chest while he laughed like the idiot he was and I rolled my eyes, then let out a breath, "Come on, just do this for your Firefly." ▬▬▬▬▬ There was only one reason Renée McCann enjoyed her job at the bakery. To see the guy who had made her stomach flutter at the first sight.Lengkap

For Jack, Lucy has always been his favorite co-worker, but when she drops the bomb that she's engaged and moving to New York, something in him shifts. Too little, too late, he makes a messy, last-minute attempt to win her over... and ends up blowing everything up instead. Now Lucy's back in Phoenix with a broken engagement and a serious case of emotional whiplash. Returning to Mag's, she's bracing for awkward feelings for Jack and determined not to fall for him all over again. Jack, however, has a new game plan: break every rule he once clung to and convince Lucy that what they have is worth the risk. But with the past still looming and their friendship on the line, can he prove he's not the same guy she left behind? Told from both perspectives, Jack & Lucy is a slow-burn romance about second chances, mixed signals, and the undeniable spark that never really goes out.Lengkap
