Let Them Eat Cake
French Twist, Book 1

Lexi Stuart finished college but is still living at home, ready to launch a career but unable to find a job, solidly stalled between boyfriends. When a lighthearted conversation in French turns into a job offer, Lexi accepts. But the actual glamour is minimal: the pay is less than generous, her co-workers are skeptical, and her parents are perpetually disappointed. Her only comfort comes from the flirtatious baker she has her eye on – but even may not be who he seems to be!

“… this delectable mix of faith, fun and fiction has all the right ingredients for a romantic, enjoyable read.”

Pièce de Résistance
French Twist, Book 3

Having earned her chef’s hat, Lexi Stuart bids au revoir to her glamorous and deliciously satisfying pastry mentorship outside of Paris and returns to her hometown of Seattle, Washington. There, she finds life unexpectedly complicated.

She’s put in charge of a high-end catering bakery called Bijoux, which should be her dream job, but there’s a catch: She has to make this lavish bakery into a successful business in just a few, short months, which will require more than her ability to make an amazing wedding cake. Stir in a complicated relationship with her French beau Philippe and his daughter, Celine, then add a dash of romance with down-to-earth lawyer Dan, and life suddenly contains more ooh la la than Lexi can handle.

“The scrumptious recipes and exquisite settings round out this beautiful novel… both touching and delicious.” - Romantic Times
