Shay runs Champagne Cupcakery, pouring her heart and soul into every cupcake. The sweet aroma of success is finally within reach as she lands a game-changing order-only to see her dreams crumble when the deal falls through, leaving her on the brink of losing everything.
Enter Stephen, her landlord and a man known for being tough in business. But behind his professional exterior lies a protective heart, especially when it comes to Shay. Drawn to her resilience and independence, Stephen sees more than just a tenant-he sees someone worth fighting for. Instead of demanding overdue rent, he offers her a lifeline: host a business networking event at her cupcakery, bringing new opportunities for both of them.
What begins as a simple business proposition soon stirs deeper emotions. Stephen can't help but be captivated by Shay's strength and the spark between them, but Shay is hesitant. Haunted by past hurts and an ex who refuses to let go, she's wary of opening her heart again-especially to someone as driven and dominant as Stephen.
As Shay battles her past and learns to trust again, she must decide whether to protect her heart or take a chance on a love as sweet and enduring as the cupcakes she bakes.
