Publisher's Synopsis
A modern Pride and Prejudice spin-off.
Ella Richards is a graphic designer, struggling to keep her business afloat after her work was stolen by a much bigger company. So, when she finds an opportunity to go undercover and confront the company's founder, she'd be a fool not to go for it, right? Even though it means working at the Bennet Bakery under false pretences, and lying to Mark, her new manager and erstwhile coffee shop crush.
Awkward middle child Mark Bennet is used to being overlooked in favour of his four louder and more charming brothers. He's managed to carve out a niche for himself at the family bakery, and is slowly recovering their fortunes with a mixture of good management and scrupulous budgeting. Then fate drops a huge order for a Halloween party in his lap, as well as a new member of staff to help out.
A stickler for propriety, Mark struggles when he begins to develop feelings for his new hire, and then, worse still, his family gets involved.
When their growing attraction threatens to undermine her plan for revenge, Ella is forced to question whether revenge is truly worth it.
