Synopsis:
Anna just wants to
earn enough money on the side to buy into the bakery, Callie’s
Cakes, where she works together with
her best nerd pal Callie.
The last thing she expects to see when she walks into Arthur’s
apartment to do some moonlighting is a blood bath. Callie’s ready
to jump into the investigation into Arthur’s murder, and she’s
bringing another bakery worker, Kristie, into their hijinks whether
Kristie wants to or not. But things aren’t as they seem. There are
gang affiliations, illegal gambling dens, and ladies of the night to
wade through. Will Anna and Callie discover who murdered Arthur or
will Callie’s detective boyfriend and Anna’s self-appointed
protector put a stop to such aspirations?
Come join us at
Callie’s Cakes, where
murder investigations are on the menu, but make sure to bring your
own baker, because Anna’s a bit preoccupied at the moment.
Warning: This
is NOT your mom’s cozy mystery. Bring
Your Own Baker may be a ‘clean’
read, but if gangs, illegal gambling, and pimps make you turn your
nose up at your e-reader, you might want to skip this one. Although
you’ll be missing some sizzling chemistry between Anna and her
protector. Not to mention a whole bunch of witty dialogue.

Author bio:
I
grew up reading everything I could get my hands on from my mom's
Harlequin romances to Nancy Drew to Little
Women.
When I wasn't flipping pages in a library book, I was penning
horrendous poems, writing songs no one should ever sing, or drafting
stories which have thankfully been destroyed. College and a stint in
the U.S. Army came along, robbing me of free time to write and read,
although I did manage every once in a while to sneak a book into my
rucksack between rolled up socks, MRIs, t-shirts, and cold weather
gear. A few years into my legal career, I was exhausted, fed up, and
just plain done. I quit my job and sat down to write a manuscript,
which I promptly hid in the attic after returning to the law. Another
job change, this time from lawyer to B&B owner and I was again
fed up and ready to scream I quit, which is incredibly difficult when
you own the business. Thus, I shut the B&B during the week and in
the off-season and started writing. Several books later I find myself
in Istanbul writing full-time.

Excerpt:
“Apparently, I’m
smart and could take over Arthur’s ‘position’. Oh, and I’m
beautiful.” I snort again because really? The bookie must be in
dire need of someone to play poker for him if he’s calling me
beautiful.
“You are
beautiful,” Logan whispers. Before I can snort again, he places a
hand over my nose and mouth. “Baby, how can you not know you’re
beautiful?”
My eyes widen at his
question. “You’re serious?” At his nod, I continue. “Because
I’m a pink-haired pixie. No one thinks a pixie’s beautiful.”
Logan’s grin is
wicked. “I always thought Tinker Bell was hot.”
I huff. “Tinker
Bell’s a fairy, not a pixie.”
“Pixie, fairy,
whatever.” He shrugs. “Hot,” he mumbles as his lips find mine.
He wastes no time in sticking his tongue down my throat but then
abruptly stops. He licks his lips. “Have you been drinking?”
“Vodka.” I nod.
“Vodka doesn’t
taste like coconut.”
“It does if it
comes out of my freezer,” I tell him with no uncertainty.
He rolls his eyes at
me. “You’re a nut.”
“Technically
coconut is a fruit, not a nut,” I clarify.
