After a painful breakup and too few acting gigs in Manhattan, Piper Donavan returns home to Hillwood, N.J., where she's assisting her mother, Terri, at the family bakery, the Icing on the Cupcake. Piper is pleased to be preparing the cake for the upcoming wedding of her friend Glenna Brooks, the star of A Little Rain Must Fall ... but then a cyanide poisoning of one of Glenna's co-stars and her former lover, Travis York, threatens to derail the wedding....

Wedding cake decorator and maid of honor in her beloved cousin's wedding, Piper Donovan must save the day when the impending nuptials are threatened by the disappearance of a bridesmaid, the discovery of a body on the wedding beach and the arrival of the lecherous, ex-drug dealer best man.

Piper Donovan adores her brother. Her sister-in-law is another matter. Self-centered, greedy, and completely annoying, Zara is, inexplicably, the love of Robert's life. Piper puts up with her to maintain peace within the family. When an exquisite gold bracelet goes missing, all the evidence points to Zara as the thief. Piper knows she should go to the police, but she's torn. Is finding justice worth risking the happiness of her entire family?
