The antique heart-shaped locket she wears given to her by her grandmother reminds her of the love her grandparents shared and gives her hope of one day finding her own true love.

Valentine’s Day is coming up, and Valentina is busy collaborating with Paws-N-Pastries to host a matchmaking event that will double as an adopt-a-thon for homeless animals. In the midst of all the activity, she’s horrified upon realizing her locket is missing. It must have come off at the cat café – except it’s nowhere to be found. Did someone take it? If so, who and why? She has her eye on Caleb Barone, a grumpy – but very handsome – divorce attorney whose colleague signed him for the event as a joke.

Perhaps charming feline newcomer, Romeo, along with Miss Louise and One-Eyed Willie, the two senior residents of the cat café, can help Valentina find her necklace – and maybe even a love of her own – this Valentine’s Day.

It’s a magical book club! When this group chooses a book, magic happens. The mystery comes to life, and they find themselves part of the story. To exit the book and get back home, they need to solve the mystery and reach The End.

This time, the club chooses a book called The Great Cake Rivalry, because, well … cake! They read the back cover and it’s unanimous. So off they go into another grand adventure into a town aptly named Frosting.

Frosting is a rural town in an idyllic setting. The people live quiet lives most of the year. But in the spring, things change. The Annual Cake Competition becomes the focus of every man, woman, and child. They take this competition seriously. The cakes are spectacular. The festival is fabulous. For a week there are contests featuring all kinds of cakes. The people of the community become official tasters and vote for the winning cakes in each category.

The grand finale is a display of finely decorated cakes, made by the town’s bakeries. The winner of the best design receives a prize package that would make any baker dizzy.

Sadly, this event has been tainted. Once a year, each one different, but all somehow related to this event, a person is murdered. The main investigator is stumped, but that could be because he’s an inept buffoon.

Can the book club help the people of this community figure out who is causing this disturbing pattern of deaths, and stop another murder from happening? Can they figure out why some of the citizens dress so oddly, and why they always wear those unique backpacks? All while they fill themselves to the brim with cake, of course.
