Don't Call Me Cupcake
The
Holloway Girls #1
by
Tara Sheets
Genre:
Supernatural Romance
Most
families have a favorite recipe or two, handed down through
generations. The Holloway women are a little different. Emma
Holloway, like her grandmother before her, bakes wishes into her
delicious cupcakes, granting the recipient comfort, sweet dreams, or
any number of good things. It’s a strange gift, but it brings only
happiness. Until gorgeous, smooth-talking newcomer Hunter Kane
strolls into her shop, Fairy Cakes—and Emma makes the mistake of
selling him not one, but three Sweet
Success cupcakes.
Hunter,
it turns out, is opening a fancy new restaurant and bakery right on
the waterfront—Emma’s competition. To make matters worse, the
town committee has decided to split the upcoming summer festival
contract between the two, forcing Emma to work with her nemesis. But
she can’t afford to split her profits. The solution: create a
recipe that will make Hunter leave town permanently.
The
Holloway charms are powerful. But there are other kinds of magic in
the world—like red-hot first kisses, secret glances, and the
feeling that comes with falling truly, madly, inconveniently
in
love . . .
“We
should probably get back,” she said quietly.
“Probably.”
Hunter didn’t move. He still held the wild rose in one hand, his
other hanging loose at his side, fingers itching
to touch her. She
took a shaky breath. Their
eyes locked.
With
infinite slowness, he closed the gap between them and reached his arm
around her waist, settling his hand on her
lower back. He felt as though he were in a trance, like everything
else faded around them and the only thing he could
see clearly was her. She was warm and soft, and touching her felt
right. A thrill shot through him when she didn’t resist. He pulled
her body flush against his and she exhaled on a tiny sigh.
Emma
tilted her head back, her eyes half closed, her breathing shallow.
The scent of chocolate and honeysuckle surrounded
him and the urge to taste her was so strong, he almost groaned out
loud. The rose fell to the ground, forgotten, as he wrapped both arms
around her and lowered his head. Her
eyes fluttered shut. When
he lowered his lips to hers, she grabbed fistfuls of his shirt,
pulling him closer. For the briefest, most blissful of moments
she brushed her lips against his. The whisper-soft touch of her mouth
on his was intoxicating. He was drowning and he never wanted to come
up for air. This was heaven.
