Cake at Midnight by Jessie L. Star (Paperback)

Letting go of the past isn't easy, especially when your heart is breaking. Giovanna, Zoe and Declan have been a trio forever, and they're forging their way in the world knowing they have each other's back. Gio is a passionate apprentice baker of cakes, pastries and all things delicious. Zoe is a hair and makeup artist, and Declan is a young banker on the way up.

BFFs forever, Gio thinks—until her not-so-secret lifelong crush on Declan lands her in a very humiliating situation. Gio realises she needs to cut Declan loose to get over him once and for all. Enter Theo, Gio's neighbour. Gio's never met anyone like him before. He doesn't talk much, but he's dark, he's sexy and he's often awake in the middle of the night, like Gio.

Theo has a mysterious history and Gio can't seem to stay away. Thanks to the power of sleepless nights and chocolate cake, Gio thinks she's finally over Declan. But then the whole world turns upside down and Declan really needs her. Gio knows she can't desert Declan in his time of need, but how can she explain a lifetime of love to Theo?
