Emma wants Hunter gone! He’s a big city guy who doesn’t appreciate the small-town charms of Pine Cove. Emma can’t afford to lose any money with her old house in need of urgent repairs, and her ex taking off with her savings. Emma is hopping mad when she finds out Hunter Kane, a big city entrepreneur has come to Pine Cove Island to build a competitive business just down the street from her cupcake/sweet shop, and she unknowingly gave him three of her “success” cupcakes. Cupcakes to fix what ails, bring contentment, success, or just lift someone’s spirits. Įmma’s family has baked magic infused cupcakes for the small, picturesque town of Pine Cove for generations. But there are other kinds of magic in the world-like red-hot first kisses, secret glances, and the feeling that comes with falling truly, madly, inconveniently in love. The solution: create a recipe that will make Hunter leave town permanently.

But she can’t afford to split her profits. To make matters worse, the town committee has decided to split the upcoming summer festival contract between the two, forcing Emma to work with her nemesis. Hunter, it turns out, is opening a fancy new restaurant and bakery right on the waterfront-Emma’s competition. Until gorgeous, smooth-talking newcomer Hunter Kane strolls into her shop, Fairy Cakes-and Emma makes the mistake of selling him not one, but three Sweet Success cupcakes. It’s a strange gift, but it brings only happiness. Emma Holloway, like her grandmother before her, bakes wishes into her delicious cupcakes, granting the recipient comfort, sweet dreams, or any number of good things. The Holloway women are a little different. Most families have a favorite recipe or two, handed down through generations. There’s a very special kind of sweetness to life on Pine Cove Island.
