Three-Time Christy Finalist Pens Another Winning Historical
Romance
Lucy Kendall always assumed she’d help her father in his
candy-making business, creating recipes and aiding him in their
shared passion. But after a year traveling in Europe, Lucy returns
to 1910 St. Louis to find her father unwell and her mother planning
to sell the struggling candy company. Determined to help, Lucy vows
to create a candy that will reverse their fortunes.
St. Louis newcomer Charlie Clarke is determined to help his father
dominate the nation’s candy industry. Compromise is not an option
when the prize is a father’s approval, and falling in love with a
business rival is a recipe for disaster when only one company can
win. Will these two star-crossed lovers let a competition that
turns less than friendly sour their dreams?

Falling in Love Could Be a Recipe for
Disaster
Lucy Kendall returns from a tour of the Continent, her luggage
filled with the latest fashions and a mind fired by inspiration.
After tasting Europe’s best confections, she’s sure she’ll come up
with a recipe that will save her father’s struggling candy business
and reverse their fortunes. But she soon discovers that their
biggest competitor, the cheat who swindled her father out of his
prize recipe, has now hired a promotions manager--a cocky, handsome
out-of-towner who gets under Lucy’s skin.
Charlie Clarke’s new role at Standard Manufacturing is the chance
of a lifetime. He can put some rough times behind him and reconnect
with the father he’s never known. The one thing he never counted
on, however, was tenacious Lucy Kendall. She’s making his work life
miserable...and making herself impossible for him to forget.
