She came to Maplewood to disappear. He saw right through her.
After walking away from a life wrapped in secrets, Talia Wren opens a quiet little bakery in a small town where no one knows her name or her past as Velvet Vox, the sensual blogger who once stirred hearts with words she no longer dares to write but hiding behind sugar-dusted scones and cinnamon rolls only works until he walks in.
Elias Cross has returned to Maplewood for one reason: to rebuild his late grandfather’s cabin and maybe, if he’s lucky, rebuild himself too. He’s not looking for complications but the woman behind the bakery counter? She’s both sweet and sharp, like a knife wrapped in velvet.
When sparks fly over coffee, sarcasm, and secret trades—pastries for repairs—Talia and Elias begin a slow-burn connection neither of them expected but as pasts resurface, blog identities are revealed, and small-town whispers grow louder, Talia must decide if she’s ready to stop running and let herself be seen.
And when Elias says her name in front of everyone, she realizes some vows don’t need an altar. They just need a hearth… and the right person beside you.
Frosted Lies & Midnight Ties is a heartfelt, small-town romance filled with cozy bakery vibes, cinnamon-sweet tension, found family, a grumpy-sunshine pairing, and a secret voice behind a blog that changed everything.
