A deliciously indulgent read from a hot debut writer and first in a series of books set in Carrington's Department Store — where life is sweeter... Perfect for fans of Meet Me in the Cupcake Cafe and Breakfast at Darcy's. Georgie Hart had it all — as a top personal shopper in London, the heady world of Mulberry launch parties and Louis Vuitton goody bags meant she was living the dream. But all that extravagance took its toll on her bank balance and it was time to stop drinking champagne on beer money. Now Georgie runs the luxury bag concession at Carrington's Department store in the pretty seaside town of Mulberry Bay and her lavish spending is confined to a red velvet cupcake with butter cream icing in Carrington's cafe. But her plans for a quiet life are thwarted when Carrington's goes into a recession-busting makeover and soon, with the arrival of Maxine, wielding the axe in her immaculately manicured hands, Georgie is fighting not only for her job, but also for the attentions of her dishy boss, James. And when newcomer Tom arrives, who may or may not be the best thing since sliced bread, Georgie must decide where her loyalties really lie... |

A deliciously indulgent read and the follow up to Cupcakes at Carrington's. Set in Carrington's Department Store this is perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan. Carrington's Department store is thrown into a spin when the staff learn that a hot new Reality TV show is to be filmed in-store, featuring the formidable retail guru, Kelly Portland. Georgie Hart, in charge of Luxury Handbags, is reluctant, but quickly realises that the show could give Carrington's a new lease of life. With Christmas around the corner, she's also hoping that the season will deliver her the perfect Christmas present, in the form of Tom, the store's dishy boss. When the film crew arrive, things start to go wrong. One of Tom's old flames, Zara, is working on the show and then, to top things off, Tom and Zara are sent off to Brazil for a spot of extra filming. When Georgie settles down in front of the box to watch the first show, worse it to come — Georgie is shown in a far from flattering light and she is horrified to learn what Tom has been up to in Brazil. Georgie fears this is turning out to be the worst Christmas ever, but Santa might have a got a little surprise in store for her stocking this year — but she'll just have to wait until Christmas to find out! |
