Icing on the Cake — RaeLynn Blue

Brice Middleton is running from a haunted past, one that lingers in his head -- a dark, sobering reminder of how trust can be twisted and wielded like a weapon, slicing through love and critically wounding the heart. Beneath his golden tan, sun-drenched blonde hair, and hazel eyes are scars that zigzag across his chest, some physical, some emotional -- all painful. Devoting himself to his work at C.A.K.E., Brice distances himself from everyone.

Aerial Gibson loves being an actress even if it means living hand-to-mouth in the Triad. A graduate of North Carolina's best performing arts program, she spends most of her evenings serving up caffeinated and sugary goodness at Tate Street Café. She has a steady income, an approaching audition, and an awesome -- and somewhat overly protective -- family. However, Brice highlights the one thing absent in Aerial's happy-go-lucky world -- a lover.

If Aerial can infiltrate the walls around Brice's heart and capture it for herself, it would be the icing on the cake.
