Description de l’éditeur
A city girl finds love in a small Southern town in this “deliciously warm and feel-good” romance by the USA Today bestselling author (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
After years of Chicago’s hustle and bustle, Riley Brown is savoring her new life on Georgia's tranquil Sugarberry Island. With a dream job as a house stager and fantastic new friends in the Cupcake Club, she's got it all—or almost. While she’s still healing from a bad breakup, Riley is starting to crave an eligible man.
Then a gig staging a renovated beach house delivers a delicious treat: Quinn Brannigan, a six-foot, blue-eyed writer as delectable and Southern as pecan pie. Quinn is back in his hometown to finish his latest novel, and suddenly Riley has a taste for the bad boy author that no amount of mocha latte buttercream or lemon mousse will satisfy.
"Hilarious from start to finish." –Affaire du Coeur

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Romantic fun, lovable leads, and surprising emotional complexity in both the main relationship and the supporting deep friendships make this quick return to the tiny Georgia island of Sugarberry (after Sugar Rush) a deliciously warm and feel-good read. Writer Quinn Brannigan, returning to his childhood town, gets a unique first impression of clumsy, adorable house stager Riley Brown when she flies off a treadmill and into the bushes of the seaside house he's decided to rent. Riley's Cupcake Club friends encourage her to heal her old romantic wounds and take a chance on Quinn's obvious interest. Kauffman describes her characters' internal monologues and thoughtful conversations with an eloquence that makes them feel like the reader's best friends, and secondary characters like gossipy bookie Alva and Riley's goofy dog sparkle with personality. Contests and cupcake recipes will keep fans eager for Kauffman's next sweet treat.
