Description
Traditions, betrayals, and tarts in the heart of modern Scotland! In a Scotland governed by a monarchy supported by clans and parliament, King Aedan I Stuart is at a turning point in his reign. Faced with one of the greatest challenges of his life, to marry and produce an heir, Aedan seeks a distraction to lighten the weight of his responsibilities. It is then that Halley, an ambitious young pastry chef, is recruited to join the culinary brigade of the royal palace. Although she grew up in Los Angeles, her Scottish roots run deep. She even shares a past with King Aedan, who was her babysitter for a summer on Skye! While he takes malicious pleasure in enjoying his place at the top, Halley doesn't seem to succumb to his charm, remembering mostly a cruel teenager. But with each nightly dessert she brings him, a step is taken. An intimacy is born, defenses crumble, and initial animosity gives way to mutual fascination. And if they are not vigilant, they could find themselves caught in a storm of passion, secrets, and conspiracies, which would jeopardize the future of a Scotland in full transformation.
