When Two Cakes Collide

A stolen van Gogh, a dead museum owner, and a killer lurking at the ‘Taste of Amsterdam’s festival’

International food critic and amateur sleuth Darcy Finnegan is excited to spend a weekend writing about the Taste of Amsterdam.

But when a priceless van Gogh vanishes and a museum owner is discovered dead, Darcy and her besties’ dream of indulging in stroopwafels fade.

With Mozart, her clue-sniffing Schnoodle, leading the way, Darcy uncovers a tantalizing line-up of suspects: a revenge-hungry chef, a blackmailed forger, and a curator with secrets as messy as melted gouda.

Enter Interpol agent Marcus Evans, on a mission to dismantle an art crime syndicate.

His investigation intertwines with Darcy’s determination to help solve the case.

Sparks flicker between them and in a race against time, they must find the killer before he vanishes.

The van Gogh isn’t the only treasure worth killing for.

Theo

Only he doesn’t want to stop with one chaste peck on the cheek in thanks.
Oh no, Theo Collins wants much, much more from Noelle.
He’s waited years for this moment, and he isn’t going to let it pass him by, not when he’s finally got her where he wants her–under the mistletoe at last.
So when she teases him and asks him what he wants for Christmas, his only answer… is her.

Others might forget… He would not.

But letting go of the past isn’t easy for Callie, especially when love means risking her heart all over again. Enter Luz, an angelic gardener of happily-ever-after’s only Callie can see, sprinkling bubbly wisdom like powdered sugar on a funnel cake while lighting a path to forgiveness.
