The Cupcake Wars: An Enemies to Lovers Romance

Love on Main Street Series Book 1

The Cupcake Wars — a small-town, clean rom-com where rivals collide, tempers flare, and love rises on low heat.

In Cedar Falls, the annual Sweet Days Festival pits the town’s best bakers against each other… until the mayor adds a twist: the final round requires two rivals to collaborate on one signature cupcake. That’s how meticulous pastry chef Gracie Miller—queen of perfect piping and laminated schedules—ends up partnered with carefree flavor wizard Wade Callahan, whose kitchen looks like a sprinkle explosion and whose ideas are as wild as his smile.

They clash over everything—recipes, playlists, even where the cinnamon should live—but when a bout of festival chaos (and a suspiciously faulty kitchen latch) forces late-night teamwork, playful jabs turn into slow-simmering chemistry. The more they blend structure with spontaneity, the better their cupcakes taste… and the harder it is to remember why they were enemies in the first place.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Clean, closed-door enemies-to-lovers romance
• Witty banter, prank wars, and laugh-out-loud mishaps
• Forced proximity and opposites attract
• Charming small-town vibes, lovable side characters, and festival fun
• A slow burn with heart, hope, and a swoony, feel-good finish

What you’ll get:

• Sweet romance (kisses only) — no profanity or explicit content
• A stand-alone love story with a guaranteed happily ever after
• Series cameos and a cozy world you’ll want to revisit

Love on Main Street is a heart-warming series where rival business owners in a quirky town battle it out during community events—and discover that the perfect partner might just be their fiercest competitor. The Cupcake Wars kicks off the series with a delicious blend of sparkle, spice, and second-place bragging rights that taste an awful lot like first place in love.

Fans of Sally Thorne, Christina Lauren, and wholesome romantic comedies will devour this feel-good treat.

One rivalry. One recipe. One unexpected romance. Grab your oven mitts—love is about to rise.
