With her mousy hair and plain, humble clothes, Jane is a woman not many people notice. Not many people besides the dashing Detective Damon McCloud, that is. But when Damon's visit to Scotland takes a dramatic turn and he disappears, Jane is on the next flight to Edinburgh. And she's not alone. She finds herself in accommodation with surprising guests. Jane isn't going to desert Damon in his hour of need. Her new friends might have seen batter days in the eyes of the world, but that's not going to stop them from craving the sweet taste of success. They will navigate the Scottish highlands, creep through a castle's secret passages, investigate Damon's disappearance, and do their best to stay safe while the body count rises. Will Jane and her unlikely allies uncover the truth behind Damon's vanishing act, or will they become the next victims? As danger lurks throughout the misty Scottish landscape, Jane must tap into her hidden strengths and prove that even the most unassuming heroine can rise to the challenge. In this thrilling tale of mystery, friendship, and unexpected courage, Jane discovers that true bravery comes in all shapes and sizes – and that sometimes, the most extraordinary adventures begin with what others see as the most ordinary of people.A Scottish Confection is Book 7 in the USA Today Best-selling series, Amish Cupcake Cozy Mystery.

From the bestselling author of The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir comes an unforgettable novel of a BBC-sponsored wartime cooking competition and the four women who enter for a chance to better their lives. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY GOOD HOUSEKEEPING • “This story had me so hooked, I literally couldn’t put it down.”—NPR Two years into World War II, Britain is feeling her losses: The Nazis have won battles, the Blitz has destroyed cities, and U-boats have cut off the supply of food. In an effort to help housewives with food rationing, a BBC radio program called The Kitchen Front is holding a cooking contest—and the grand prize is a job as the program’s first-ever female co-host. For four very different women, winning the competition would present a crucial chance to change their lives. For a young widow, it’s a chance to pay off her husband’s debts and keep a roof over her children’s heads. For a kitchen maid, it’s a chance to leave servitude and find freedom. For a lady of the manor, it’s a chance to escape her wealthy husband’s increasingly hostile behavior. And for a trained chef, it’s a chance to challenge the men at the top of her profession. These four women are giving the competition their all—even if that sometimes means bending the rules. But with so much at stake, will the contest that aims to bring the community together only serve to break it apart?
