"Sugar & Shelves" is a sweet, feel-good romance set in the small, coastal town of Rosewood Bay. Sophie Bennett is a fun-loving, slightly clumsy baker who's been burned by love in the past. She's focused on making her bakery a success, but her heart? That's been on pause. Then there's Ethan Clarke, the reserved owner of a local bookstore. He's all about quiet mornings with a good book, and he's not exactly looking for romance-until he finds himself drawn to Sophie's cupcakes and her even sweeter personality.
When Sophie and Ethan team up for a book-and-bake event, things get unexpectedly personal. As they bond over frosting and books, they start to realize there's more between them than they bargained for. But with both of them holding on to old hurts, they'll have to learn to trust their hearts again before they miss their chance at something real.
"Sugar & Shelves" is a heartwarming story about second chances, finding love in unexpected places, and realizing that sometimes the best things in life are the ones you didn't plan for.

So I stuttered a no. To which he smirked as if he knew I was lying. "Okay, so you don't get goosebumps or shivers when I do this, right?" he murmured as he gently traced my arm. And almost on cue, goosebumps arose where his hand had been on my arm. "Why do you have to lie? I told you I like you and I know that you like me too then why lie?" he asked softly with his eyes staring into mine. Oh, I like him. A lot.
