Baker Cora is running from a high-pressure city job, seeking a new beginning in the quiet town of Cranberry Creek. Her dream is "The Cranberry Moon Bakery," but she immediately clashes with her new neighbor, Silas-a grumpy, "silent type" woodworker who seems to be measuring her for failure.
But their "enemies-to-lovers" dynamic quickly becomes a "slow-burn temptation". Silas's "quiet authority" and "subtle brush of power" awaken a hidden part of Cora. When a shadow from her past, Edward, arrives to drag her back to her old life, Silas becomes her "silent protector".
Cora has always been in control, but she finds herself craving the "sweet surrender" he offers. As they build her bakery together, they discover a shared "recipe for two," built on trust, "unspoken rules," and the courage to explore a different kind of love.
