Buttercream

Millie thought she had the perfect recipe for a good life: a husband, a family bakery, and the legacy her grandmother left in her hands.

Buttercream is more than a bakery. It is Millie's inheritance, her comfort zone, and the one place she knows how to make sweetness behave. Her marriage to Roy looks steady from the outside, but behind the counter, their love has become tangled in control, duty, and all the things Millie learned to swallow to keep the peace.

Then Issa walks in.

Beautiful, confident, witty, and impossible to ignore, Issa starts as a customer with a taste for Millie's hummingbird cake. Soon, she becomes the question Millie cannot stop asking herself. What does she want? Who is she without the role of wife, good woman, and dutiful keeper of everyone else's comfort?

As Miami heat, family pressure, and bakery success push Millie's life into the open, she is forced to face the truth about her marriage, her desire, and the legacy she has been trying to honor without losing herself inside it.

Buttercream is a forbidden sapphic romance about a married woman's emotional awakening, a bakery full of secrets, and the courage it takes to choose a life that finally tastes like truth.
