As a packless omega owning a bakery in cozy Lakeview, I’ve built my life on hard work and zero reliance on alphas. But when an unexpected financial squeeze threatens to shutter my life's work, entering Lakeview's annual Baking Festival becomes my only way out. And it turns out the festival ovens aren't the only things turning up the heat this year... First, there's Jonah, the sweet, burly apprentice baker I’ve spent months drooling over, whose gentle smiles are now turning into hungry stares. Then there's Wade, the arrogant guest judge whose lingering looks over a tasting spoon make it clear he has an appetite for more than my pastries. And finally, Seb, the brooding, grumpy tech genius whose large hands promise a very thorough "hardware inspection." With a victory the sole lifeline for everything I’ve poured my soul into, getting sidetracked is out of the question. But with these alphas closing in and my own biology betraying me, will I manage to keep my hands on the dough? Or will my fingers ditch the flour for something firmer? Bonds and Buns is a cozy, MFMM, steamy small-town Omegaverse romance with low angst and a guaranteed HEA. It contains knotting, heat, bondings and bites. This standalone is part of a series of interconnected stories that can be read in any order (with recurring cameos).
