This tasty novella has been reissued and will enchant a new
readership. Well-off Ned Wyatt almost collides with a van
while cycling on Valentine's Day. The van is driven by
party caterer Claudia Mulcahey, and due to her skidding on
ice, the stock of food is ruined. Ned offers assistance,
since Claudia is a one-person operation. At first she
demurs, thinking he is too wealthy to help cater, but he
persuades her not to be so judgemental.
The Wyatt mansion in Connecticut is about to host a
cotillion and Claudia has to cope with the demands of Ned's
imperious sister Melanie, as well as the jealous suspicions
of elderly staff member Edie who resents her intrusion.
Resolutely Claudia prepares another batch of her famous
chocolate kisses, adding brandy, cinnamon and cloves to the
chocolate. Ned, not normally a fan of sweet food, can't
get enough of the kisses and frosted cakes, and begins to
have designs on Claudia's kisses too. As an investment
consultant specialising in business start-ups, he can see
that the catering firm is in demand and could prove very
profitable if expanded. His determinedly vague elderly
mother, who has caused Melanie to worry by choosing to live
in a convenient townhouse instead of a draughty mansion, is
herself the daughter of a union leader and turns out to be
all in favour of a young lady who knows how to do a good
day's work.
CHOCOLATE KISSES is a sweet romance featuring a strong woman
and a practical
young man, this is rich in characters and contrasts. Enjoy!
Claudia Mulcahey has one day to cater the biggest social
event Glenwood, Connecticut has seen in years. If she
succeeds, her catering business will flourish. If she fails,
she may go bankrupt. A lot can go wrong in one day: car
accidents, spilled dip, crushed cakes...and the distraction
posed by Ned Wyatt, sexy brother of the party’s hostess.
