In this delectable novel—complete with recipes—Jennifer
Ross frosts a sweet story of a young woman fulfilling her
dreams, one delicious cupcake at a time.
In Ansley Waller’s world of Southern belles and gentlemen,
getting a diamond ring isn’t just important—it’s the
ultimate goal. So when her fiancé, Parish, unceremoniously
kicks her to the curb and cancels their upcoming wedding,
Ansley is so ashamed that she decides to leave Dallas and
make a fresh start. In a surprise move, she heads to New
York City to live with her recently widowed grandmother,
Vivian, whom she’s never met. In turn, Vivian gives Ansley a
no-nonsense ultimatum: Rather than wallow in misery, either
get a job or go home. The Waller women have a tradition of baking their way out of
sorrow. So Ansley mixes batch after batch of creative
cupcakes—Black Bottom Heartache, Moving Blues Banana
Caramel, Tres Leches Made Small. Before long, she’s opening
up her own cupcake shop and even trying her hand at dating.
But the ways of Manhattan’s eligible bachelors are
altogether different from their Southern counterparts, and
Ansley’s nearly fail-safe tactics fall flat. And worse,
someone’s got a half-baked scheme to sabotage Ansley’s new
life. It’ll take a cup of courage and a dash of Southern
charm, plus a few secret ingredients, if Ansley hopes to
pull off her recipe for success.
