The Flavor of You by Jules Cohen

There was something electric between Sam Atwood and Tucker Bates from the very beginning---something neither of them could quite forget. The only problem? She lived hundreds of miles away.

Until now.

When a local trivia night gives them a reason to reconnect, the pair decide to finally clear the air that's lingered between them since that first unforgettable week, and it doesn't take long for old sparks to reignite. To keep things uncomplicated, they strike a deal: a friends-with-benefits arrangement with three rules:

No relationships.

No explanations if one of them wants out.

And absolutely no falling in love.

But, Sunset Springs has a way of pulling people closer, and after months of late nights, shared secrets, and a connection neither can ignore, the town's Winter Wonderland Weekend forces the truth into the open. Now, Sam has to decide if she's willing to risk vulnerability for the one man who makes her want to tear her walls down, and Tucker must find the courage to let someone see who he truly is, flaws and all.

The Flavor of You is a small town romance featuring a baker, a blue-collar worker, and their story of growth and strength, where they learn that being vulnerable may not be a piece of cake. This interconnected standalone is part of the Sunset Springs series.
