Pride & Prejudice at the Bennet Bakery
When Fiona Darcy finds herself in the wilds of Yorkshire to launch her new wedding dress collection, she’s only got one aim; get back to Bath as quickly as possible. What she doesn’t need is her best friend falling for their cupcake supplier, forcing her into the proximity of the crass Bennet family. Worst of all is Elliot, the tall, handsome Yorkshireman who has not only taken an instant dislike to her, but seems to be pushing his brother into a relationship purely for financial gain.
Baker extraordinaire Elliot Bennet is pleased when his brother finally finds love, but less happy playing third wheel with Fiona Darcy, a woman who clearly despises him and his family. But the Darcy contract could be the big break their struggling bakery needs, even if it doesn’t show his messy, overcrowded family to their best advantage. And besides, even if she doesn’t like cupcakes, maybe Fi isn’t quite as icy as she seems…
North meets south as sparks fly between Elliot and Fiona. Will their undeniable connection survive meddling families, misunderstandings and their own prejudice?

Ella Richards is a graphic designer, struggling to keep her business afloat after her work was stolen by a much bigger company. So, when she finds an opportunity to go undercover and confront the company’s founder, she’d be a fool not to go for it, right?

Awkward middle child Mark Bennet is used to being overlooked in favour of his four louder and more charming brothers. He’s managed to carve out a niche for himself at the family bakery, and is slowly recovering their fortunes with a mixture of good management and scrupulous budgeting. Then fate drops a huge order for a Halloween party in his lap, as well as a new member of staff to help out. A stickler for propriety, Mark struggles when he begins to develop feelings for his new hire, and then, worse still, his family get involved.
When their growing attraction threatens to undermine her plan for revenge, Ella is forced to question whether revenge is truly worth it.
