Sweet Like Fireball : Contemporary Lesbian Romance: Small Town Lesbian Romance (Hearts Of Honey Bay #3)

She’s grumpy. She’s sunshine. And they’ve just been forced to share a business space… What could go wrong?

Welcome back to Honey Bay, where saltwater meets sugar and stubborn hearts collide. Sweet Like Fireball is a slow-burn, small town lesbian romance full of tension, vulnerability, banter, and bakery-fresh charm. Perfect for fans of grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, and women who fall hard—despite their best efforts.


★ Book 3 in the beloved Honey Bay Series — can be read as a standalone ★Sasha Lark doesn’t do small talk, pastel colors, or morning people. As the former Army sergeant and current owner of the Baywatch Bar, Sasha’s life is built on routine, grit, and keeping emotions out of arm’s reach. But when dwindling profits and a meddling town council force her to temporarily share her bar with a pastry pop-up shop, Sasha finds her carefully guarded world invaded by one cheerful, flour-dusted menace.

June Penelope bakes like she breathes—obsessively, passionately, and with a touch of lavender buttercream. After a flood damages her storefront, she’s offered a set up a pop-up bakery inside Sasha’s grungy bar. Easy, right? Except Sasha growls instead of greets, treats kindness like a threat, and has zero interest in sharing anything—not fridge space, not customers, and certainly not feelings.

But Honey Bay has a way of shaking things loose.

As cupcakes begin to charm even the grumpiest regulars, and Sasha’s quiet protectiveness begins to thaw under June’s warmth, an undeniable spark ignites between them. One that neither of them asked for—and both are scared to name.

Because Sasha doesn't believe in second chances.
And June has always been too soft for someone like her.
