Every bite is a mouthful of heaven.

Riley Brown never imagined she would find her bliss on Georgia’s quiet Sugarberry Island after years of Chicago’s city life. With a new career and fantastic new friends, she’s got it all—except for eligible men. But a gig staging a renovated beach house delivers a delicious treat—six feet of blue-eyed, gorgeous writer as delectable and Southern as pecan pie. Quinn Brannigan has come to Sugarberry to finish his latest novel in peace, and suddenly Riley has a taste for the bad boy author that no amount of mocha latte buttercream or lemon mousse will satisfy…

Riley’s friends are rooting for her to give in to her cravings and spice up her life, but it’s Quinn who needs to learn that life’s menu just might include love, in all its decadent, irresistible flavors…

“The opening novel of Kauffman’s Cupcake Club series is as sweet and adorable as its namesake treat.”
— (Starred Review, Pick of the Week) Publisher’s Weekly

“Sugar Rush is a playful, sensual, laugh-inducing read. But there’s so much more to the story. Kauffman’s book chronicles profound character growth and offers layer upon layer of authentic, life-changing conflict. … it’s a good thing Sugar Rush is only the first in a series, because the residents of Sugarberry — especially the delightfully oddball members of the Cupcake Club — will lure you back to their island again and again.” -
— Kathy Altman, USA Today/Happily Ever After

“Fans of cupcakes and TV chefs will like this first installment of the Cupcake Club back-to-back romance series that comes with recipes. For those looking for more, not to worry — this isn’t a light, spun-sugar tale. It has more substance, like a rich chocolate ganaches. The suprorting characters are delightful and one hopes they will appear in future books.”
— 4 Stars, Joyce Morgan, RT Book Reviews

“I can’t get enough of this new town, characters and the romances that have bloomed and will continue to bloom in this new series.”
— Lush Book Reviews

First in the Cupcake Club Romance series…

Devil’s Food…Angel Cake…Red Velvet…Praline Crunch…Lemon Chiffon…
How’s a woman to choose?
Luckily, the members of the Cupcake Club are about to taste it all…

When baker extraordinaire Leilani Trusdale left the bustle of New York City for Georgia’s sleepy Sugarberry Island, she didn’t expect her past to follow. Yet suddenly, her former boss, Baxter Dunne, aka Chef Hot Cakes, the man who taught her everything pastry, wants to film his hit cooking show in her tiny cupcakery. The same Chef Hot Cakes whose molten chocolate brown eyes made Lani’s mouth water and her cheeks blush the color of raspberry filling–stirring all kinds of kitchen gossip, much of which Lani wished was true…

Lani’s friends are convinced that this time around, Baxter is the missing ingredient in her recipe for happiness. But convincing Lani will be a job for Baxter himself. And he’ll need more than black velvet frosting to sweeten the deal…

MAD. BAD. (BARELY) IN PLAID.

You know those Scottish bad boys…they don’t wear anything under their kilts, and who would want them to? Now USA Today bestselling author Donna Kauffman introduces the Chisholm brothers, three of the sexiest lads ever to leave a woman hungry for moor…

BOTTOMS UP

Rascal Brodie Chisholm has more charm than the law allows, which is a good thing given that he’s bailed out of university to run the local pub. Brodie loves everything about the pub life: the community, the darts, trading barbs with the lads, flirting outrageously with the lasses - except for Kat Henderson, of course. She’d probaly kick his ass. But Kat’s about to show Brodie that the woman of his dreams might just be the tomboy next door and that billiards tables can come in handy for games other than shooting pool…

ON TAP

Reese Chisholm is a definite man, sure of his ideas and strong of opinion about running the family distillery - until American Daisy MacDonnell shows up. The red-headed beauty has a lot of fancy ideas about promoting his family’s whiskey on the Web, singing their praises (very embarrasing) or something. Not that Reese can remember what she says when she’s sitting in front of him. He’s too busy fantasizing. Moors. Heather. Frolicking and rolling and moaning and…No. Reese Chisholm is all business. He knows what he wants. And what he wants is Daisy…

NIGHT WATCH

Tristan always felt he’d been born a century too late. He was a sheepherder, both by profession and desire, with a poet’s heart and a need to share a deep, hungry passion with one special woman. Bestselling author Bree Sullivan has come to Scotland looking to escape the paparazzi. Now a surprise rainstorm has her stuck in the middle of nowhere, rescued by the world’s hunkiest sheepherder. And suddenly, being alone is the last thing on her mind…

Go on…Tartan up your sex life…
