Zoe Ellicott is great at three things: setting things on fire (accidentally), making strangers feel at home, and pretending she totally has it all together.
Running Press & Pour, Everbrook's coziest bakery-meets-coffee-shop-meets-plant-nook, should feel like a dream but Zoe's been one burnt scone away from a breakdown for weeks. When a small kitchen fire turns into a massive embarrassment, she meets broody, gorgeous firefighter Beckett Hayes, who saves the day with a fire extinguisher and a stare that could melt her mixing bowls.
Beckett thinks Zoe is a walking hazard, chaotic, loud, and exactly the kind of distraction he doesn't need. But when the firehouse ropes him into a neighborhood safety campaign, starring Zoe, he finds himself stuck in a mess of cupcakes, candles, and confusing feelings.
She's all glitter and drama. He's all rules and structure. And the more time they spend together, the more they realize... sparks don't just fly in burning kitchens.

Stuck with you
When cheerful and hopelessly clumsy bakery assistant Lila Hart is forced out of her apartment due to a surprise renovation, she's desperate to find a place to crash. Enter Theo West, her neighbor - a grumpy, introverted freelance architect who's just trying to enjoy his peace and quiet. A hilarious elevator mishap traps them together, and when the building's manager offers a temporary shared loft to "building victims," they're paired as unwilling roommates. What starts as chaotic mornings, passive-aggressive post-it notes, and constant miscommunication turns into warm coffee shared over city sunrises, quiet understanding, and late-night confessions. As they navigate shared space, they might just discover that love doesn't always knock - sometimes it crashes right through your door holding a spilled tray of muffins.Complete
