Sugar Rush by Emma Quinn

“Yes, get rid of him. He isn’t good enough for you.”

Brandon: I knew the time had finally come.
After a life of hard work and dedication, I had everything a man could wish for: tons of money, fancy cars, a big house… All I needed now was to finally propose to my girlfriend Lara, a drop-dead gorgeous model and wannabe Instagram star, and everything would be perfect.
Even though it wasn’t.
Gary, my best friend, had warned me against proposing to Lara. He didn’t like her, he didn’t like how we constantly fought, how badly she treated me. I guess I was just blind.
I still tried to propose, during Lara’s birthday. It was supposed to be perfect. But instead, all the guest got sick from some food poisoning, and Lara got obsessed by the idea of revenge against the small bakery that cooked the cake.
That’s when I finally realized how nasty she could really be. That bakery almost went out of business because of her. And then we broke up.
So, when I learnt that the bakery was not actually responsible for the food poisoning, I felt bad and decided to push their door to taste their pastries for myself. And that’s when I saw her.
Jane. The sweet, beautiful and kind owner of the small bakery.
I fell in love with her, but there is just a small problem: she doesn’t even know I am the man she hates the most in this world.

Jane: I always knew this time would come.
After years of hard work, my small bakery was finally getting noticed. Customers loved my pastries and kept coming back, asking for more. Finally, my dream was coming to life, and I couldn’t wait for it to get even better.
Except, my best friend Samantha had to keep reminding me that work wasn’t the only thing in life. She kept telling me I needed a man in my life. Well, what does she know about that? She’s the one who cannot keep guys more than two weeks without scaring them.
But then, two things happened: my business went downhill after a big hate campaign launched by a stupid model who thought I poisoned her. And the he came into my shop.
Brandon.
He’s tall, sexy, kind. He loves my pastries. Although, it seems he didn’t come into my shop everyday just for the pastries. He asked me on a date, and I said yes. Except it seems he’s hiding something. In fact, he might have been lying to me all along…
Only a few years after my ex broke my heart by cheating on me before our wedding, I was wasn’t sure I could trust men ever again.
And now, I found someone to love, but I’m not sure I can trust him at all…
