Knot from Scratch: A Second Chance Fated Mates Cozy Omegaverse Reverse Harem Romance
I came back to Puckridge to save my mother's bakery.
I didn't expect my ex to show up at dawn with coffee... and that he remembers how I take it.
Five years ago, I left with a duffel bag and a note on the counter. Miles Ashford - my alpha, my first love - chose hockey over me one too many times, and I was done being the thing that fit around everything else.
I built a life. I didn't look back.
Now my mom's recovering from surgery, the oven dies mid-batch, and three wedding cakes, two hundred cookie boxes, and a six-foot gingerbread house are all on me. What shows up? Four hockey players in my mother's kitchen with rolled-up sleeves and flour on their hands:
Miles - the ex who's been shoveling my parents' walkway at 5 AM without telling a soul. Same scent: dark chocolate and woodsmoke.
Bram - warm grin, open heart, steals raw cookie dough faster than I can slap his hand.
Sterling - dry, precise, and quietly devastating... especially with gingerbread house shingles.
Holt - the beta who talks about nothing until my hands stop shaking and I can breathe.
My suppressants are cracking. Their scents are baked into every surface of this kitchen. And I keep carrying their hoodies upstairs without realizing it.
I remind myself of my one rule: I don't fall for hockey players. Not again, anyway.
They don't push. They just keep showing up. Piping icing at midnight, catching me when I burn out, making this kitchen feel like home.
The problem isn't just that Miles is different. It's that I can see exactly how much... and I'm terrified it's real.
Because the last time I wanted this, I drove away crying on the highway. And this time, I don't want to leave... and I don't want to choose.
