Passion and Promises by Sephyrra

Cora
Cupcakes, chaos, and my twin teens – that’s my world. As the proud owner of The Sweet Fairy, Silverton’s favorite bakery, I spin sugar and spice into everything nice. It’s a sweet life, literally, even with the whirlwind of raising twins solo. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Enter Axel Blackstone, my enigmatic new neighbor. His brooding, intense gaze captivates me. He’s a riddle, cloaked in silence. His rare smiles send my heart racing. Behind those deep, intriguing eyes, I sense there is something exciting, but darned if I can figure him out. All I know is, he’s stirring up more than just my recipes.

Axel
In Silverton, I’m just Axel, not an ex-soldier with a prosthetic leg or a former security chief for a billionaire.
This quiet town was supposed to be a sanctuary but Cora, with her fiery red hair and contagious laughter, shattered my peace. She’s fearless, yet wary of love, a contradiction that draws me in. Cora’s presence is a risk, a reminder of old wounds, but there’s something about her that’s irresistibly intriguing. In a town where everyone thinks they know you, she’s the mystery I can’t help but want to unravel.
