"Let Them Eat Cake"

The shop sign shone in the afternoon sun, Nicks very own business, his dream, a place where he could fulfill his hearts desire and produce the finest cakes he could, for everyone to enjoy.

Birthdays, weddings, christenings, even divorce, he could handle it all.

Sugarcraft isn't usually a guy thing, but then Nick isn't a standard guy.

Dyed red hair, tattoos, dark chocolate eyes set in an oval face with high cheekbones and a natural peach glow, and 100% proudly gay.

The death of his two year old sister when he was just a child, a badly failed relationship and a few meaningless hook ups had marred his life, but now he'd realised his dream and his shop was open.

Nick met all walks of life as they came through his door.

But none as obnoxious and arrogant as Corinne Bailey.

The day she stomps into the shop with her bad attitude triggers a chain of events when Steve Bailey, Corrines long suffering son visits Nick the next day with his sister Chloe in a last ditch attempt to save her wedding day.
One look at Steve's beautiful golden honey eyes and mad hair and Nick is smitten, and so it seems, is Steve.

A week of sticky fingers and Steves cheeky innuendos sets the scene for romance, only realising just how deeply they really feel about each other when Steve gets knocked off his motorbike two weeks later.

Finding out that they were friends as kids, they know it really is a love that's meant to be, written in the stars.

But will their journey together be smooth or bumpy?.

Will Steve and Nick survive when their relationship is tested?.

When everything feels so right, how do they cope when things go sideways?.

Will Nick's little shop survive?.
