Coffee Cake: Book Two
Malachi Warren barely survived a series of assaults on his life. But survive he did, though not without baggage. Now, Malachi must pick up the pieces of his shattered life-the most important piece being his boyfriend, Bran Kendrick, who is dealing with problems of his own.
Stagnating at his job at a small-town café, Bran's pride keeps him from asking Malachi-or anyone-for help. Desperate to do something, Malachi secretly pays a celebrity chef with a bakery in New Orleans to take on Bran as his apprentice.
As Malachi and Bran begin to make a new life in New Orleans, the specter of Malachi's PTSD and the growing stress over the secret he hides from Bran threaten their relationship. Before it's too late, Malachi must confront his past and face his fears about the future, all without losing himself-and Bran-in the process.
