Chocolate Shot

She wasn't looking for love. But sometimes the sweetest blessings arrive when you least expect them.

Younik knows how to turn chocolate into something beautiful. As a gifted chocolatier and widowed mother, she has rebuilt her life one careful piece at a time-pouring herself into her children, her faith, and the sweet creations that bring joy to everyone around her.

Romance, however, is one recipe she has no intention of trying again.

Then Brandon walks through her door.

A successful basketball player with a strong faith and a guarded heart, Brandon has already learned that love can leave a bitter aftertaste. Betrayal taught him that words mean little without loyalty, and he isn't eager to hand his heart to anyone again.

But Younik is different.

Their attraction is instant, their connection unexpected, and before long, what begins as a spark starts becoming something neither of them planned.

Something sweet.

Something real.

And something worth protecting.

Unfortunately, not everyone wants to see Brandon move on. Someone from his past is determined to reclaim what she believes belongs to her-and she doesn't mind stirring up trouble to get it.

In a small town where everybody knows your business, Younik and Brandon will have to decide whether the possibility of lasting love is worth risking hearts that have already been broken.

Can a woman who has known devastating loss believe God still has sweetness waiting for her?

Can a man wounded by betrayal learn to trust love again?

And when fear tells them to walk away, will faith give them the courage to stay?

Chocolate Shot, Book One of the Sweetness in Love Series, is a faith-filled Christian sports romance where basketball meets handcrafted chocolate, wounded hearts discover second chances, and love proves that even after life turns bitter, God can still make something beautifully sweet.
