The Marquess of Cake

ebook

In this Victorian romance series opener, a dashing marquess finds himself craving a delicious pastry chef.

Scotch trifle fit for Queen Victoria, scones with clotted cream . . . Alys Redcake knows the way to a man's heart. Yet she is unaware that with each morsel—and flash of ankle—she is seducing the handsome marquess frequenting her father's tea shop. Unmarried at twenty-six, Alys's first love is the family business. But thoughts of the gentleman's touch are driving her to distraction . . .

With his weakness for sugar, the Marquess of Hatbrook can imagine no more desirable woman than one scented with cake and spice. Mistaking Alys for a mere waitress, he has no doubt she would make a most delicious mistress. And when he finds himself in need of an heir, he plans to make her his convenient bride. Yet as they satisfy their craving for one another, business and pleasure suddenly collide. Will Hatbrook's passion for sweets—and for Alys—be his heart's undoing?
