Cream and Punishment coming Spring 2025 from Conquest Publishing
You’d think, as a baker, Dekker Piper would be able to avoid burning things. Apparently that doesn’t apply to her personal life, which just went up in flames. Moving next-door to him is just the icing on the burnt life cake.
Max Fuentes. Hunky. Charming. Hates her guts. Yeah, him. The man whose life she ruined shares a wall with her now. And if that wasn’t punishment enough, she can’t seem to avoid him. It’s only a matter of time before he exacts his revenge, and the suspense is killing her. When a break-in happens at her bakery, he offers to help. Obviously, this is the perfect opportunity to get close and drive the knife into her back like she deserves. But as they spend more time together and he passes on every chance to humiliate her—and she’s given him plenty—she wonders whether she’s misjudged him. And if that’s the case, can the sparks between them possibly lead to something more, or will she crash and burn yet again? Cream and Punishment is a feel-good romantic comedy that will bring all the swoony, sizzling chemistry while keeping the bedroom door closed. It is the first in the Smitten in the Mitten series of interconnected standalone novels. |
What Early Readers Are Saying
Hi, I'm Brianne Ritchie Córdova.
Author. Avid Day Dreamer.
Idaho-born and Michigan-raised, I've loved reading and writing ever since I finally accepted that my childhood dream of growing up to become a dog could never be realized. Instead, I settled on studying neuroscience at Brigham Young University, where I earned my bachelor's degree.
Many of my works are inspired by my passions: brains, crime, superheroes, magic, swoony romance. You know, normal stuff. Though I formerly worked as a registered behavior technician with kids on the autism spectrum, you can now find me at home avoiding people and hanging with my two little girls, or standing in a room and wondering what I went in there for. And sometimes, when the stars align, actually writing. My debut novel, Cream and Punishment, will be releasing Spring 2025 with Conquest Publishing.
