Publisher Description
Small-town florist Ashley Gaines loves her little flower shop and putting together the perfect bouquets for weddings and other happy occasions. Her own love life, however, is far from blossoming. Ash has decided that staying in the closet is safer than risking her heart again.
Local bakery owner Sasha Peterson hasn’t had much luck mixing it up with romance either. Besides, she’s too busy whipping up delicious treats to have time for a relationship.
But when their town’s first lesbian wedding forces them to work together, Ashley and Sasha discover they have more in common than they imagined.
During food fights, cake tastings, and slow waltzes, they begin to see each other in a new light. Soon Ashley has to admit to herself that Sasha is tempting more than just her sweet tooth.
What else is on the menu in this delicious lesbian romance? Find out in this second book in the Fair Oaks series by award-winning author Jae. It’s featuring new main characters and can be read as a standalone.

See AllSmall Town Love
I come from a small town and I really connected with Ashley’s character. I’m always walking around with a shield and pretending to be someone I’m not. This story really resonated with me and maybe I’ll get up the courage to be who I am and feel comfortable in my own skin. Wonderfully written.
Fortune favors the brave: shipping for love
I’m shipping the love story. Yo, Jae, this book is lit!
Backdrop to the story: Ashley, florist in a small town, enshrines shackles and a vault. She’s has been living a lie for 15 years. She wants the people in-town to see the prom queen who is dating the football quarterback. Ashley resigns herself to a loveless life in order to protect her secret. You can’t live a lie without bone rattling cognitive dissonance. Wielding kitchen hardware, Sasha, a bakery owner, starts chipping away at Ashley’s prison walls. You’ll have to read the book to find out what happens in Florida, stays in Florida. Here’s a hint: the earth moves, yeah it does.
Wow! Excellent series!
Jae is undoubtedly one of the best authors I have ever read! She paints word pictures that just blow my mind! I absolutely loved reading about the new characters, while still getting to visit the old characters from the first book. Jae is an absolute genius when it comes to writing! I want to read everything she has ever written! I guess what that means, is that I highly recommend this book and all of her books!
