Sweet deception

Sugar and sins|book 1
Elara doesn't believe in fate. She believes in good coffee, slow mornings, and the way flour settles into the cracks of old wood. She runs a quiet bakery tucked inside a secondhand bookstore, perfectly content with the life she's built from scratch-simple, sweet, and entirely her own.

But Elara is not who she thinks she is.

When a stranger begins frequenting her shop-quiet, unreadable, always watching-she writes him off as just another regular with too many thoughts and not enough words. What she doesn't know is that Silas has been sent to protect her. What she doesn't know is that her past is clawing its way back.

She is the hidden heir to an underground order once fractured by betrayal. And now that she's been found, everything is at risk.

He wasn't supposed to talk to her.
He definitely wasn't supposed to care.
And falling for her? That was never part of the job.

But fate never cared for rules.
