Book #3
Book #1 Pride, Prejudice and Peril, Book #2 A Murderous Persuasion. While Phaedra Brighton might not have a Mr. Darcy (yet), she's quite content with her loving family and loyal cat. Phaedra's sister Hannah is the Jane to her Elizabeth, and Phaedra is ecstatic that Hannah has decided to move home to open a business. All of Laurel Springs is out in force to celebrate the unveiling of Hannah's new patisserie, Tout de Sweet, including local celebrity Rachel Brandon. Hannah is a master of her craft, with divine confections, one bite will make you think you've died and gone to heaven. Of course, you never want that to happen literally. When one of Hannah's dark chocolate cupcakes sends Rachel's assistant to the hospital with poisoning, Hannah begs for Phaedra's help to save her reputation and business. But Phaedra has more questions than answers: Who was the cupcake actually meant for? And how far is the culprit willing to go to take their target off the menu--permanently?
