To Have and to Kill: A Piper Donovan Mystery
To Have and to Kill: A Piper Donovan Mystery (Paperback)
Description
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. Soon she's creating a wedding cake for a friend, the star of a daytime television drama. But someone is ruthlessly determined that this wedding will never happen.
It begins with the horrific murder of the bride-to-be's costar—but a psychopathic wedding-crasher isn't about to stop there. 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. . . .
