Kate Clothier is leading a double life: a successful jet-setting businesswoman to the outside world, but behind closed doors, life with Daniel and his volcanic temper is anything but rosy.
Some days – heck, make that EVERY day – cake is her only salvation.

On the other side, I now just want to go out and eat deserts with all the descriptive desert references, not sure my waist band would let me!
