WHEN LOVE TASTE SWEETER THAN PROFIT An irresistible romance story about love, trust, and finding sweetness in unexpected places. Emma Chen's life revolves around Sugar & Soul, her grandmother's historic bakery in the charming coastal town of Haven Cove, Maine. While big-city developers circle her beloved waterfront community like sharks, Emma stays focused on keeping her family's legacy alive through her grandmother's treasured recipes and her own innovative creations. Enter Alexander Winchester, CEO of luxury hotel giant Winchester Hotels, who arrives in Haven Cove with a hidden agenda. Posing as "Alex West," a remote-working consultant, he's there to orchestrate his company's biggest acquisition yet. But when a power outage throws him together with Emma during a late-night wedding cake emergency, Alex discovers something he wasn't looking for authenticity. As their romance blossoms over morning buns and business advice, Alex finds himself falling not just for Emma but for the small-town magic of Haven Cove itself.

But in a small town where everyone knows everyone's business, secrets have a way of rising to the surface like well-proofed dough. When Alex's true identity is revealed, Emma must decide if she can trust the man who lied about his name but told the truth with his heart. Meanwhile, Alex faces an impossible choice between his corporate empire and the community he's grown to love. As Haven Cove's future hangs in the balance, both must learn whether love is enough to bridge the gap between preservation and progress
