In Heritage Hollow - where everyone knows everyone but no-one knows what’s really happening behind closed doors - two exes find themselves trapped in the lie of a life they were supposed to have together.

Small-town baker Casey Abbott has a lot going for him. With a successful bakery, a roof over his head and a loyal best friend, he doesn’t need much else. Unless it involves Ethan Bremer. On that front, it’s less hit and more miss. After an absence of almost four years, Ethan’s return to Heritage comes with a lot of secrets and feelings to work through. There’s a lot Casey is afraid to share - most importantly his heart.

As much as he would tell you otherwise, Ethan did not enjoy his years in the city. The loneliness, the fast pace of the day to day – he’d rather spend his days holed up in the older, cozy library in Heritage. It was obvious his return to town would be difficult, he’d just not imagined it being this hard. Getting to know each other again, in a town that thinks you’re closer to getting married than the actual break-up you’re working through. Five dates, that’s all he asks, and if they’ve worked through their differences by the end of those, they’ll try again.

How far are they willing to go to stop lying to the town, to their friends - and most importantly, to themselves?

Spring Dates & Sprinkled Cakes is a 50k word cozy, second chance, small town M/M romance between a troubled baker and the sweets-averse local librarian; the one that got away.
