Cupcakes and... handcuffs?
Still dealing with her boyfriend's defection to Vancouver, would-be cop Jessica Holden works at Cuppa Cakes bakery-cafe in small town Dunlop Point while waiting for a promised job with the local police force. When her friend and boss Shelby kicks out the unfaithful but delicious Derek, Jessica fully supports her. Men are dogs. But her own frustration is rising like cupcakes in the oven.
Then a would-be burglar makes the mistake of breaking into Shelby's home while Jessica is house-sitting. Though cupcakes may be sweet, they're not as sweet as passion... or control.
A Dunlop Point Desires short story. Small towns aren't quite as sleepy as you may think.
