Welcome to Litsy!

In this delectable novel�complete with recipes�Jennifer Ross frosts a sweet story of a young woman fulfilling her dreams, one delicious cupcake at a time. In Ansley Waller�s world of Southern belles and gentlemen, getting a diamond ring isn�t just important�it�s the ultimate goal. So when her fianc�, Parish, unceremoniously kicks her to the curb and cancels their upcoming wedding, Ansley is so ashamed that she decides to leave Dallas and make a fresh start. In a surprise move, she heads to New York City to live with her recently widowed grandmother, Vivian, whom she�s never met. In turn, Vivian gives Ansley a no-nonsense ultimatum: Rather than wallow in misery, either get a job or go home. The Waller women have a tradition of baking their way out of sorrow. So Ansley mixes batch after batch of creative cupcakes�Black Bottom Heartache, Moving Blues Banana Caramel, Tres Leches Made Small. Before long, she�s opening up her own cupcake shop and even trying her hand at dating. But the ways of Manhattan�s eligible bachelors are altogether different from their Southern counterparts, and Ansley�s nearly fail-safe tactics fall flat. And worse, someone�s got a half-baked scheme to sabotage Ansley�s new life. It�ll take a cup of courage and a dash of Southern charm, plus a few secret ingredients, if Ansley hopes to pull off her recipe for success. From the Trade Paperback edition.
