A heart-shaped cake, light-fingers, and an undercover mission to catch a thief! I'm determined to help my best friend, Princess Alice Audley, during her unwanted matchmaking weekend. Alice doesn't want to marry, but her parents are determined to see her settled. With a dozen 'eligible' bachelors in the castle, I'm busy in the kitchen, creating delicious treats to serve the amorous admirers, while trying to keep Alice from fleeing the castle to escape the romance. When valuable objects go missing, I'm recruited by the castle's security team to discover which bachelor is the thief. Tasked with going undercover as the daughter of a confectionery magnate, I must forget baking and don heels, silks, and attempt a posh accent in the hope of discovering who's stealing from the castle and put a stop to it. If I fail, a thief will go free, Alice will never meet her prince charming, and no one will get to try my perfect heart-shaped chocolate cake. Enjoy this fun novella. It’s the perfect introduction to the complete Holly Holmes cozy culinary mystery series. Start with Cookie Crumble and Murder and escape into a world of castles, crime, and cozy treats.
