When Myla is forced back to her hometown after her family falls apart, she finds herself starting over with more scars than stability. A rundown house, a minimum-wage job at a fading bakery, and the weight of everything she's been avoiding - that's her new reality.
Then there's Evan: steady, gentle, and far too genuine for a girl who doesn't know what to do with real softness. And the other boy - sharp, magnetic, and addictive - feels like the kind of danger she's always mistaken for love.
Caught between comfort and chaos, Myla must untangle want from worth, desire from connection, and lust from something deeper. In the end, she learns that love isn't always the one that tastes like candy... but it might be the one that finally lets her heal.
A/N: This was inspired by my fast food job and coworker crushes ><
