Overview

A gruff bear shifter baker. A runaway tea shop owner. One small boy and a secret big enough to rewrite a whole town. The council's One Tenant Clause turns their uneasy reunion into a forced proximity romance overnight. To survive the compliance review, Cass and Beckett must sign as one unit, host Bread and Steam tasting weekends, and let Gullhaven watch them work shoulder to shoulder. On the surface, it's smart business. Underneath, every shared tray, almost-touch, and soft laugh is a reminder of a bond everyone else would call fated mates if they knew how deep it runs. For Cass, protecting Theo comes first. She's spent six years as a single parent, crafting a quiet life where her magic stays small and her secrets stay safer. But Theo is drawn to Beckett's kitchen like it's a hearth he's always known, and each time he calls him ""bread man"" with shining eyes, the fragile architecture of her lies begins to shake. This was supposed to be a clean new chapter, not the most dangerous secret baby romance she could imagine. Beckett tells himself this is just business: a risky corner, a ruthless inspector, a review that could shut his doors for good. Yet the more he watches Cass steady shaking hands with tea and Theo's practiced politeness, the harder it is to pretend he doesn't see the story underneath. If this is a small town shifter romance, then he's the last to realize he's already in the middle of it. As the council weaponizes ""cohesion,"" the town turns their partnership into entertainment, and Cass's Sunflare magic grows louder every time she lies, the question stops being if the truth will come out and becomes when-and who will get to tell it. How long can a single mom romance hide in plain sight beside a man whose instincts are built on scent, warmth, and home? In The Bear Baker's Secret Baby, you'll find the slow, hungry build of a true second chance romance, woven through with coastal fog, council meetings sharp as knives, and food-scented magic that refuses to stay politely invisible. It's about the cost of protection, the weight of stolen firsts, and the terrifying, tender work of telling the truth before the world uses it against you. Readers can expect: Deep, character-driven chemistry that simmers through every shared kitchen and corridor. A quietly powerful bear shifter romance full of flour, fog, and feelings. Domestic intimacy-late-night planning at a cluttered table, a child asleep in the next room, the question of who gets to be ""home.""
