Produktbeschreibung

Just as baker Elara "Ellie" Stone has secured the Maple Leaf Bakehouse's future, a new threat arrives that jeopardizes her family's entire legacy. When her friend, Lorraine "Lori" Hayes, a local historical society employee, is attacked and the complete collection of priceless family recipes is stolen, Ellie realizes the crime is deeply personal. The prime suspect is Vivian Sterling, a rival baker from The Heritage Hearth, who claims the recipes-including the centuries-old Smuggler's Shortbread-belong to her family, citing a cryptic journal as proof. To stop Vivian and prove the recipes are rightfully hers, Ellie must turn to the one item the thief left behind: the Smuggler's Shortbread recipe itself. The clue lies in the overcooked instruction for the shortbread, which is the key to opening a hidden compartment in a decorative wooden box. But as Ellie tries to decipher the recipe, her loyal employee, Cora, becomes secretive. Cora knows the devastating truth: the original smuggler was a Sterling, and Ellie's family has been protecting a lie for generations. Ellie must race against time to recover the collection and confront the truth-a choice that could either save her family's honor or grant her rival the sweet victory of historical proof.
