For Frankie MacSweeney, life had never been sweeter.
Making the decision to move from London to the seaside city of Brighton and open a chocolate shop
wasn’t easy, but with her best friend Louise by her side and fiancé James on track toward a bright future of his own Frankie finally felt like she had found something she could settle into.
Of course, as with all good things, she should have known it wouldn’t last.
When James disappears during an important business trip in the Swiss Alps and Louise starts acting stranger by the day after her big birthday bash, it’s down to Frankie to work out what’s happening while trying to get everything sorted in time for the shop’s grand opening. And as if that weren’t enough on her dessert plate, enter Henry Roberts: the gorgeous and mysterious stranger who might just hold the key to all of it.
As all signs point to a conclusion that her sensible Scottish mind insists is impossible, especially when it includes a plot for vengeance over one hundred years in the making, Frankie finds herself questioning her own beliefs about life, love, and the truth about English chocolate.
It’s what might happen if Bram Stoker’s classic vampire novel, Dracula, were to casually hook up with another classic in its own right: the movie, Clueless. With chocolate.
