Baking for the Billionaire Next Door

A Clean & Wholesome Romance

"Small town, big heart: Falling for a billionaire dad and his twins."

Moving to Darling was supposed to be a temporary escape, not a place where I'd fall for a brooding billionaire with adorable twins.

I'm Lillian, a city girl who traded skyscrapers for small-town charm—and got more than I bargained for. I came to Darling for a fresh start, taking up a baking job and trying to find peace, but then I meet Bas—the brooding man next door with twins who steal my heart the moment they smile.

I offer to help with the kids, thinking it'd be temporary. Yet, every day spent baking cookies, sharing stories, and watching those kids light up when I walk in the room, I feel myself sinking deeper into something I wasn’t prepared for.

Bas is still healing from losing his wife, but there’s a spark between us that’s impossible to ignore. Late nights by the fire, his hand brushing mine, the warmth in his eyes when he looks at me—leaving was never supposed to be this hard.

But just as I’m ready to stay, the city calls with a job offer I’ve always dreamed of, and Bas’s past stirs up complications. Suddenly everything we've built feels fragile.

Now, I'm standing at a crossroads trying to figure out where I truly belong.
