Loss. Or is it emptiness? No matter what the word is, Sabine Conway is familiar with it. Her life up until this point contained so many losses she feels numb now. So, when Phil, her husband decides to end their 7-year-long marriage, she doesn't even fight it. Her work, social life, and strings of failed dates no longer evoke any emotions in her. Except for cake, she always feels for cake... Noel Tolentino has just inherited a bakery shop upon his grandfather's passing. As an amputated veteran, he comes across trials every day and faces judgment from people without batting an eye. Owning a business though? Not a piece of cake! Noel almost gives up until he lays his eyes on a certain blue-eyed beauty. Cake is a novel for adults that explores themes such as miscarriage, loss, disability discrimination, and trauma. It contains mature content, including graphic sexual encounters. Reader discretion is advised.

Stay-at-home mom Harriet has just about had it. As her husband puts in more and more hours at the office, she's stuck with six-year-old Sam and the looming insanity of the holiday season. Along with the usual event planning panic, fall brings constant reminders of her father's failing health and the limited time they have left together. When her friend and renowned caterer Carol invites her over for a baking session, Harriet jumps at the opportunity to destress and learns Carol's secret ingredient to her stress-free lifestyle: venting her negative emotions into everything she bakes. As Harriet's love for baking warps into an addiction to the comforting warmth of the oven, her new coping mechanism starts to look more and more like a recipe for disaster. Cover by @meha-k
