Sweet Breakway

In a bustling college town fueled by late-night cravings and big-league dreams, Jake Ryler is impossible to ignore. A rising hockey star with NHL scouts circling, he lives his life at full speed-on the ice, in the spotlight, and everywhere in between. Distractions aren't part of the plan.

Until one walks straight into his routine... covered in flour.

Kayla Star didn't come to this town for chaos-she came to build something of her own. At twenty-one, she's already running a beloved bakery just off campus, pouring everything she has into perfecting her craft and protecting her independence. Her world is structured, controlled, and hers alone.

Jake doesn't fit into it.

Their first meeting is nothing more than a quick stop for coffee. The second lingers a little too long. By the third, there's tension neither of them can ignore-sharp, unexpected, and dangerously addictive.

He thrives on pressure; she avoids it. He's chasing a future that could take him anywhere; she's rooted in the one place she refuses to leave. But the more their worlds collide-in quiet early mornings, teasing exchanges, and late nights that blur the line between harmless and something much more-the harder it becomes to keep things simple.

Because this isn't just attraction, it's a slow burn that simmers into something deeper, messier, and impossible to control.

And when ambition, timing, and fear start closing in, Jake and Kayla are forced to face a question neither of them is ready for:

What do you do when the one person who feels like home might be the very thing that pulls you away from it?

This isn't just a college romance-it's about temptation, timing, and the risk of wanting something that might cost you everything.
