Product Details
Sara James never expected to find herself back in Bridgewater, the charming California Delta town she left decades ago. But when she inherits her great-aunt Clara's historic Victorian home, complete with a hidden basement bakery, Sara sees a chance to start fresh and reconnect with her passion for baking.
Her plans take an unexpected turn when a valuable antique cookbook disappears during a charity event at the Elliott mansion. As Sara investigates, she uncovers coded recipes, mysterious tunnels, and connections between her family and Prohibition-era operations that powerful Bridgewater families have worked for generations to conceal.
With the help of contractor Jack Riley and bookstore owner Crystal Paige, Sara follows a trail of clues through speakeasy tunnels and historical documents. But when threatening notes appear and the waters of the Delta begin to rise, Sara must solve the mystery before the secrets of the past—and the people protecting them—destroy her future in Bridgewater.
