Frankie’s Confections (Vineyard Seeds Book 3)
Frankie Jo Marchio loves to bake….and box. She is not waiting on prince charming to sweep her off her feet. If Frankie needs rescuing, she'll ride her own horse and do her own sweeping.
Frankie's bakery business exploded after designing the Inauguration Day cake for United States President Jackson Cashe. The problem is that she does not like attention. So how does she end up hosting her own baking show while fighting the inner demons of her past? As lost memories fight to reveal themselves to her, she uses her hands to both destroy and create. Unfortunately, the more Frankie tries to hide in the background, the more the spotlight shines on her.
Welcome back to Vineyard Seeds, where the Marchio family has seen its fair share of drama. While running a vineyard, a restaurant, and a bakery, the Marchio family supports Jackson and Haddie Cashe as they battle an impeachment inquiry in Washington, D.C. The dramatic playground of politics, along with some long-hidden family secrets, are just another day in the life of this Italian clan from West Virginia.
As Frankie builds her bakery business, will she determine that forgiveness is sweeter than revenge?
