Cinnamon Rolls at Sunrise

Demi is just trying to make it through the week. One wrong address and a snowstorm later, she's wrapped in a quilt by a crackling fire in a remote cabin with a broody stranger who makes breakfast from scratch, keeps asking if she's warm enough-and is definitely not the guy she was supposed to meet.

Gavin Jackson didn't plan to play knight-in-flannel to a mystery woman with a fake name and walls higher than the mountain peaks surrounding them. But between shared coffees at sunrise, teaching her his mom's cinnamon roll recipe, and the way she curls into his couch like she's finding home for the first time-he knows she's worth every bit of trouble heading his way.
The chemistry simmers like brown butter on the stove. The secrets? Deeper than fresh snow. And when the truth finally surfaces over morning coffee and comfort food, Gavin will have to decide if love is still worth the risk... even when it feels like it could shatter them both.

Come for the snowy nights and warm kitchens. Stay for the banter over bacon and eggs. A second-chance, slow-burn love story served with extra frosting and a side of hope.

Demi is no stranger to survival. She's learned how to keep her secrets buried, her scars hidden, and her heart firmly locked away. But one snowy night, a wrong turn leads her to a cabin that smells like cinnamon and safety-and a man who refuses to let her disappear into the cold again.

Gavin Jackson has built his life on quiet strength, strong coffee, and his mother's recipes. But Demi is different-damaged, beautiful, and carrying a past that connects to his own in ways that will change everything they thought they knew about that terrible night.
