Sweet Little Treat

Alexandria is a confident, cake-baking, perimenopausal woman who teaches at a community college. She's funny, sharp, and still healing from the emotional wreckage of bad relationships, grief, and decades of people-pleasing. She loves her husband, Joaquin, fiercely-but she also carries a quiet history: the loss of a long-term partner years ago, several toxic exes, and more empathy than she knows what to do with.

One night during a girls' night out, Alexandria runs into one of her most abusive exes. The encounter rattles her, but when a heated confrontation escalates, she acts on impulse-and kills him. It's sudden, brutal, and completely unplanned.

After that night, something shifts in Alexandria. Not just guilt or fear-but relief. A sense of justice. Power. Purpose. One by one, other men from her past begin to resurface: men who hurt her, manipulated her, ghosted her, humiliated her.

Sweet Little Treat explores grief, intimacy, and empowerment through a whip-smart narrator who's equal parts nurturing and unhinged. Think morally grey with a dose of feminist rage and frosting.
