Overview

Ethan Bloom runs Wild Roots Flower Shop with the same meticulous care he brings to everything in life. His carefully ordered world revolves around plant facts, precise arrangements, and maintaining his grandmother's legacy.

Leo Torres is Ethan's opposite in every way—loud, spontaneous, and perpetually covered in flour. Since opening Sugar Tide Bakery three months ago, he's infused Port Harbor with the scent of vanilla and the kind of pastries that make people forget their diets.

When Leo's condescending ex-boyfriend returns to judge the town's annual Spring Fling competition, panic sends him straight to Ethan with an outrageous proposal—fake dating to show the ex he's moved on. It's a perfectly logical arrangement that definitely won't involve actual feelings... until it does.

Soon, buttoned-up Ethan discovers the joy in Leo's chaos, and Leo finds strength in Ethan's steady presence. Between late-night boyfriend "practice," baking lessons, and the watchful eyes of Port Harbor's most dedicated gossips, their carefully constructed facade begins to feel more authentic than anything either man has experienced before.

But when insecurities flare and misunderstandings threaten their growing connection, both men must decide if they're willing to risk their carefully tended lives for a chance at something sweeter.

Sweet Spring Fling is a heartwarming, low angst, instalove romance novella, featuring plant facts as flirting, stress baking, small-town meddling, one well-meaning golden retriever of mass destruction, and the kind of love that feels like coming home.
