[Enigma 13] • Sugar and Spice

Everything tastes sweeter when you’ve been soured!

People often say too much sweetness will leave a sour taste in your mouth. That isn’t the case with me. You only have one life, so I plan to make the most of it. If you want to join the crazy-ass ride, you are more than welcome—the more, the merrier. But if you want a smooth, boring track without a single curve in the road, you’re associating with the wrong woman.

My name is Harlow Murphy. I’m the baker the billionaire can’t wait to taste. He ordered six dozen cupcakes; he left with so much more. One taste is never enough, so why didn’t he come back for a second helping?

People often say honesty should be the first chapter of every book, but if that stops the magic from happening, why can’t it be pushed back a few chapters? No one knows how a story will end once it starts; you just have to trust the author. That’s what I’ve been doing since I ran into a baker with a sassy attitude and sugary mouth. I’m trusting my instincts. I’m giving our story a chance to be written. It may be based on a lie, but it is a chance all the same.

Every sweet has its sour, but will my secrets be too bitter for her to swallow?

I’m Cormack McGregor, the billionaire who wants a second taste.
