After graduating from culinary school, Juliet Capshaw returns to her quaint hometown of Ashland, Oregon, to heal a broken heart and help her mom at the family bakery.

But will she have her just desserts? Murder might be bad for business, but love is the sweetest treat of all... "Alexander weaves a tasty tale of deceit, family ties, delicious pastries, and murder."
