In the first of a new series, after Lindsey Bakeswell catches her
celebrity chef fiancé sizzling in the arms of another woman, Lindsey
leaves big city Wall Street for small town Beacon Harbor, Michigan to
pursue her own passion as a pastry baker--and gets mixed up in someone's
sweet taste of revenge...
More interested in kneading dough than adding it up, Lindsey's breakup
inspired her to set up the shop she always wanted in a place that always
made her happy. She'd spent many childhood summers near this beach
community and converting the old run-down lighthouse into a bakery café
and home offers a perfect fresh start for Lindsey and her devoted
Newfoundland dog, Wellington.
But not everyone in town has a sweet tooth. The preservation society
won't have the lighthouse's history sugar coated by lattes and
cakes--and a protest group crashes Lindsey's Memorial Day opening. Then
her ex-fiancé Jeffrey Plank and his girlfriend Mia Wong arrive to trash
the place. In the ensuing chaos Mia chokes on a donut and dies.
An autopsy reveals cyanide in Mia's bloodstream and Lindsey is the
police's prime suspect. To clear her name, she's going to need to
combine ingredients found in the town's checkered past to uncover the
identity of a desperate killer...
