In A Legend in the Baking, the new romance from Jamie Wesley, a cupcake-baking football player gets assistance from a social media maven—and his best friend's little sister—to help promote his new bakery after accidentally going viral online.
August Hodges was supposed to be the silent partner in Sugar Blitz Cupcakes. Emphasis on silent. That is until his impromptu feminist rant about how women bakers are the backbone of the industry and baking cupcakes isn't a threat to masculinity goes viral, making him the hottest bachelor in town. With a new location in the works, August and his partners decide to capitalize on this perfect opportunity to help cement their place in the community. But the hiring of his best friend's younger sister, the woman who has haunted some of his best dreams for years, was as much of a shock as his new-found fame.
Social media manager Sloane Dell fell hard for her brother's best friend the moment she met him more than a decade ago, but that teenage infatuation cost her dearly. Still, she accepts her brother's request to revamp the bakery's social media presence to take advantage of August's newfound popularity, knowing it's the big break her fledgling career needs. She'll just ignore the fact that August is still August, i.e. sexier and sweeter than any man has a right to be. And that he drives her crazy with his resistance to all her ideas.
They vow to leave the past in the past. But when an explosive make-out session makes it clear their attraction burns hotter than ever, Sloane and August are forced to reconsider what it means to take a risk and chase your dreams.
As they're both about to find out, all's fair in love and cupcakes.

      When Sloane Dell finally has had enough, she quits her manager job in social media and heads straight to Sugar Blitz Cupcakes, the cupcakery her older brother Donovan owns with two of his teammates from the San Diego Knights. Instead of finding her brother, though, she comes face-to-face with August Hodges, the Knight's fullback--Donovan's business partner and her longtime crush. After an online feminist rant about women bakers, August goes viral and female fans turn out in droves to see "Sugar-Bae," as he is soon dubbed. Sloane has vowed to make it on her own and not rely on family, but she needs to create a successful campaign to prove herself to a prospective employer, and Sugar Blitz Cupcakes needs a new social media manager. While Sloane and August have great chemistry, this is a slow burn. A fun twist on the culinary romance with both characters reliving a lot of past regrets and discovering the need to work on themselves if they are to find their happily-ever-after, Wesley's second in the series follows Fake It Till You Bake It (2022). Recommend to fans of Talia Hibbert.

      Wesley delivers a delectable mash-up of rom-com tropes in her adorable follow-up to Fake It Till You Bake It. August Hodges is a cupcake-baking professional football player who co-owns a bakery with his friends. He finds an unwanted 15 minutes of fame when he calls out a customer’s sexist behavior, a moment that is filmed and goes viral. Now women all over San Diego are crushing hard on the man they’ve come to call “Sugarbae.” Meanwhile Sloane Dell, hardworking social media manager and little sister to one of August’s best friends, is in-between jobs and in need of a project to impress a potential employer. Fate thrusts the two of them into a working relationship as Sloan finds ways to translate August’s sudden boost in popularity into cupcake sales. They’ve avoided addressing their mutual attraction for so long that neither is sure how the other feels, but the more time they spend together, the harder it is to deny their chemistry. Their present relationship is enhanced by flashbacks to past interactions, giving their emotions some heft. Readers will have no trouble rooting for these two to fall in love.
