Flour and Ink - A BL Romance of Pastries and Art

Felix Park knows what makes The Golden Whisk special: warm bread, loyal customers, Aunt Elsie's old recipes, and the kind of messy charm no corporate mood board could ever understand. Unfortunately, his new landlord sees only peeling paint, mismatched chairs, and a valuable storefront that could be handed to someone sleeker. Felix has ten weeks to modernize the bakery or risk losing the place that holds his family's history.
Ronan Blake is the last person Felix wants to need. A burned-out brand designer with a brutal eye for visual flaws, Ronan speaks the language of the same polished world threatening to erase Felix's bakery. He is exacting, cynical, and far too good at seeing the truth beneath Felix's panic. Their arrangement should be simple: Ronan redesigns the bakery, Felix saves his lease, and neither man gets attached.
But as late nights in the kitchen turn into sketches, strategy, taste tests, and quiet moments neither of them expected, the line between client and designer begins to blur. Felix wants to protect the heart of his bakery. Ronan wants to prove that good design can still mean something. Together, they may discover that warmth and polish are not opposites - and that some dreams are worth risking your heart to save.
Flour and Ink is a standalone contemporary MM romance about creative collaboration, found family, grumpy/sunshine chemistry, and the courage to build a future that tastes like home.
