She bakes cupcakes by dawn, teaches toddlers by day-and hides a lonely heart behind a perfect smile.
Savannah Carter is a 25-year-old daycare owner, teacher, and bakery queen hustling to keep her dream alive in Los Angeles. Her days are filled with sticky fingers, oven timers, and overdue invoices-leaving no room for romance or rest. That is, until one spontaneous girls' night out leads to an unforgettable one-night stand with Jace Kingston, a magnetic and wildly successful athletic trainer known for his sculpted body and silent strength.
Savannah never planned on seeing him again. No strings, no attachments.
But when a missed period turns into a life-changing test result, her carefully built world begins to crumble-and the man she thought she left behind suddenly reappears, tangled in her present in ways she never expected.
Now Savannah must choose between protecting the life she built on her own... or risking everything to let someone in.
Love was never part of the recipe, but fate has its own flavor.

The Deal
"Promise me," he whispered before he looked at her. His eyes were searching her light brown eyes and was once again lost in the beauty. "Let's make a deal. That we stay together. That we stay a family." She raised an eyebrow at him. "I'm not crazy, Jay. I love you so much and I can't imagine my life without you in it. You have made me and Lara so happy and this is our little family." For a few seconds, the room was silent. Neil heard the clock tick and as each second went, he could have sworn it was slower than than the last. Finally, she smiled, being both her hands behind his head. "As long as you promise to love me like you have then I'm all set," she whispered as she leaned in to kiss him. "So that's a deal then? If things get bad we try our best to sort it out until we know there's nothing else we can do?"

Burning Passion - K.SJ
Kelly has always found solace in the kitchen-flour on her cheeks, sugar under her nails, and dreams folded into every batter she whisks. But no matter how many late nights she spends perfecting her pastries, she just can't see herself as a real chef. Imposter syndrome clings to her like steam on a bakery window, and the competitive culinary world isn't making it any easier. Everything changes when she crosses paths with Seokjin, the charming and effortlessly confident owner of a traditional Korean family restaurant in Atlanta. Known for his sharp knife skills and even sharper wit, Seokjin sees something in Kelly that she doesn't see in herself-a raw, untamed talent burning quietly beneath self-doubt. He offers her a part-time gig helping with desserts at his restaurant, not expecting that the fire she brings will start to melt the walls he's built around his heart. As they clash in the kitchen-flour flying, tempers flaring, and tension simmering-Kelly is forced to confront the fears holding her back, while Seokjin learns that sometimes, passion doesn't just feed the soul... it sets it ablaze. Together, they'll mix love and ambition, tradition and innovation, and discover that the right recipe can turn even the faintest spark into something unforgettable.![The Tea Shop [mxm]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/31285639-256-k85313.jpg)

The problem? He didn't know what. But what about that man who recently started visiting the shop? He definitely wasn't one of the regulars; his face, you would recognize.
