Publisher Description

A lady's sensational sweet shop causes a scandal among the ton in this Regency romance by the New York Times–bestselling author.

When Miss Henrietta Bascombe decides to eschew marriage in pursuit of a trade, the pronouncement causes quite a stir. But Henrietta is determined to turn her pittance of an inheritance into a fortune. And she plans to do so by opening a London sweet shop to rival the famous Gunther's!

Hanging out her shingle—the traditional confectioners sign of a golden pineapple—Henrietta soon earns the custom of the entire ton. But the proud Earl of Carrisdowne takes exception to his younger brother ogling the girls behind Bascombe's counter. The earl intends to see Miss Bascombe close up shop and soon. But the more he tangles with the fiery-eyed proprietor, the more he finds her as irresistible as her famous treats . . .
