A struggling actress with no immediate prospects and a recently broken engagement, Piper Donovan needs to take stock of her life--so she moves back home with her parents in New Jersey and steps tentatively into the family bakery business.

Before Piper knows it, she's joining forces with FBI agent Jack Lombardi--a handsome neighbor with a soft spot for the inquisitive cake maker--to sift through the suspects and find a killer. But Piper's about to discover that it may be a lot hotter in the kitchen than she's able to handle. . . .
