Confection Connection (Paperback)

Paperback. Valentine's Day stinks - literally - after a shift at The Shrimp Shack, getting showered with a vat of marinara and being haunted by a messy ghost. The romance holiday looms large for Mina Kitchen - a forty-something single without a boyfriend in sight, and a catering disorder to beat the band. Everyone else is all set: even her Swiffer-addicted neighbor Vito (the ex-leader of the Moils, the Jewish-Polish Family from Bumville, New Jersey) has a significant other. Who knew? And then there's her best friend Trixie. She's got a steady boyfriend, and a full time job with plenty of OT, too. She's even quit smoking! Except now she's a jelly junkie. Well, not just jelly - any sweet will do. What's a girl to do? Set her sights on handsome Chef? Or dare a flirt with juicy James? Who you gonna call? GumBuster! Wait, that's just one of Mina's new part time jobs. Romance fills the air (or is that fried chicken?) but dates remain elusive as a series of mysterious thefts rattle the shop owners of Lancaster "Pee-Ay". Can mild-mannered Mina land a full time job, a boyfriend and save Trixie's waistline without getting konked by some creepy crook? Confection Connection is packed with laughs, mysterious thefts and a ghost - with a cherry on top - recipes. Set in Lancaster, "Pee-Ay" you'll discover quirky characters, hysterical dialogue and funny surprises simmering away. This item is printed on demand.
