Gingerbread & Sugar: A Later in Life Friends to Lovers Small Town Christmas Romance (Christmas in Silver Sound) - Softcover
Book 3 of 8: Christmas in Silver Sound
Synopsis
A small-town baker. A market owner. Best friends since culinary school — until one Christmas gingerbread contest changes everything.
Hazel Brooks has spent years building Rising Tide Bakery into Silver Sound's gathering place — the shop where everyone comes for sourdough, celebration cakes, and conversation. What nobody knows is that her best friend is the reason she stays open late on Fridays, and it has nothing to do with bread.
Cole Bennett runs Salt & Sugar Market with the same steady hand he brings to everything in his life. Inventory, suppliers, quarterly numbers — all under control. What he can't manage is the fact that his oldest friend has become the person he thinks about first thing in the morning and can't stop thinking about by closing time.
Neither of them has said a word. Twenty years of friendship is not something you risk on a feeling you can't take back. But when Silver Sound's Christmas gingerbread contest pairs them as competing bakers — and the town's matchmakers make sure every round pushes them closer together — the thing they've both been pretending not to feel becomes impossible to ignore. The question isn't whether they'll fall. It's whether they're willing to lose the friendship to find out what's on the other side.
A warm, closed-door romance about the moment a friendship crosses the line — and two people brave enough not to look away. For readers who believe the best love stories start with someone who already knows you by heart.
Tropes: Friends to Lovers • Slow Burn • Later-in-Life Romance • Small Town Christmas • Baking Romance • Forced Proximity • Secret Feelings • Found Community
