Rise & Grind
A strict, silver-haired French-trained pastry chef takes on her first apprentice in eight years — a chaotic, flour-dusted twenty-two-year-old with extraordinary instincts and zero discipline. The kitchen becomes their proving ground. The dry storage becomes something else entirely. A 90,000-word high-heat sapphic age-gap romance with praise kink, found family, and a guaranteed HEA.
