Welcome to Litsy!

She�s a talented pastry chef�with a secret recipe for solving crimes... WELCOME TO THE COOKIE HOUSE Kate McGuire�s life was sweet in Manhattan before she lost her restaurant job and fianc� both. But sometimes that�s just the way the cookie crumbles, and soon she finds herself starting from scratch in the island town of Coral Cay, Florida. It has everything she�s looking for: sunny beaches, friendly locals, and a Help Wanted sign in the bakery shop window. Once she convinces the shop�s crusty owner Sam Hepplewhite to hire her, Kate can�t tie on her apron fast enough. Little does she know that trouble, like warm dough, is on the rise. . . WHERE CRIMINALS GET THEIR JUST DESSERTS Stewart Lord is a real estate developer with a taste for a different type of dough: the green kind. He knows that he could make a killing by purchasing the Cookie House from Sam, who flat-out refuses to sell. But when Stewart turns up the heat on Sam�then turns up dead after eating a fresh batch of Sam�s cinnamon rolls�all eyes focus on the town�s beloved bakery. When the police arrest Sam for murder, Kate must somehow prove that her curmudgeonly boss is innocent. Enlisting the help of a team of lovable locals, Kate sets out to catch the real culprit with his hand in the cookie jar...before someone else gets burned.
