The Perfect Blend (Steeped in Love Book 2)

Janelle Carter hates Valentine’s Day. Once a woman who believed in love fiercely, she’s been hardened by betrayal, long military absences, and the quiet ache of raising her daughter alone. Romance feels impractical. Dangerous. Like something meant for other people. Isaiah Grant never planned on loving a woman with a child. A former military officer grounded in discipline and control, he’s built a life where order replaces vulnerability and nothing disrupts the balance. Until Janelle and her daughter do. They don’t fit into his rules. And Isaiah doesn’t retreat when things get complicated. As Valentine’s Day approaches, time spent together inside a familiar tea shop shared conversations, careful moments, and unexpected warmth begins to change everything. Isaiah shows Janelle that love doesn’t have to be loud to be real, and that the safest love is often the one brewed slowly, with intention. Some hearts aren’t broken. They’re just waiting for the right blend.
