Sweet Serendipity

Aurelia Levine has always been comfortable in the background. Preferring books over parties and quiet moments over the chaos of high school, she spends most of her time helping at her parents' bakery or jotting down stories in her notebook. Her best friend, Calliope Vallory, is her biggest supporter, always pushing her to step out of her comfort zone. But Aurelia never expected that her life would change because of a single rainy afternoon.

Enter Alexander Huxley-charming, confident, and effortlessly popular. The school's star basketball player and the kind of guy who has everyone's attention. When he unexpectedly walks into Aurelia's family bakery, their worlds collide in ways neither of them could have predicted. What starts as a simple conversation over cinnamon rolls soon turns into something more, as Alexander becomes intrigued by the quiet girl who prefers to go unnoticed.

As their connection deepens, Aurelia begins to wonder if she's ready to be seen. Can she step out of the background and into the story that's unfolding between them? Or will fear and self-doubt keep her from embracing the unexpected?
