Childhood best friends. High school sweethearts. College lovers.
Thiana Bailey-Spataro built her life one pastry at a time, pouring her heart, her heritage, and her dreams into Butter & Bloom, her bakery in downtown Savannah. Now a celebrated pastry chef, trained at Le Cordon Bleu, she's returned home to her family, her city, and the lingering shadow of her Papa's mysterious death.
Jahlil "Jah" Taylor, her high school sweetheart and R&B heartthrob, is chasing his dreams in Atlanta - his voice, his music, his fame taking him farther from the girl who has always been his heart. Though their love has endured distance, the pull of ambition, family secrets, and buried truths threatens to stretch their bond to the breaking point.
When Jah returns to Savannah, old sparks reignite... but so do the questions Thiana has avoided for years. Can love survive when the past refuses to stay buried, and the present keeps them apart?
Butter & Bloom is a story of love, longing, family, and the quiet power of facing the secrets that define us.
