Just One Taste

Unlucky in love, baker Jen Evans has practically sworn off dating after too many shallow proposals and bizarre demands. Her bustling little bakery brings joy to the neighborhood—until a handsome stranger named Brent crosses her path. Brent Carter is done with the games women play and is seeking something authentic and lasting. Tired of romantic charades, he’s drawn to Jen’s genuine smile and passion for her craft… but she barely notices him.

When Brent stumbles into her bakery one morning, he’s captivated. But Jen responds with polite disinterest. Undeterred, Brent becomes her loyal daily customer, trying every pastry and savoring every opportunity to get to know her. His hopes rise when he discovers that today is her birthday—and she’s invited him to her celebration. Is this a sweet gesture… or just a cake request?

Their awkward, flirty exchanges soon ignite into full-blown fireworks. But love, like any good recipe, requires the right ingredients—and soon Brent must share life-altering news about Jen’s business. Will their connection crumble like stale bread, or will the lessons they've learned prove stronger than the challenges they face?
