Cat is living her dream of running a dessert shop with her best friend, Mollie. Everything seems perfect until an attractive new customer walks in. Mollie quickly develops a crush on Eric, and soon, Cat finds herself drawn to him, as well.
Despite trying to avoid him, a chance encounter while buying vanilla extract leads to Cat and Eric spending time together—and then to much more.
As their relationship deepens, Cat is torn between her growing feelings for Eric and her loyalty to Mollie. She’s unsure how to navigate this delicate balance and protect her friendship while exploring a new romance.
Can love and friendship coexist, or will something have to give?
