Real Men Eat Cupcakes. Annie McPherson has had it with all the blind dates her grandmother and auntie set her up with. She just wants to be left alone to run the Sweet Indulgence cupcake bakery – even if it means she’ll remain single forever. Jack’s just been through a gut-wrenching break-up, and women are the last thing on his mind. Now he’s on a mission to pick up cupcakes for his niece’s birthday party—not a mission to fall in love. Pulled in by Annie’s good looks and witty charm, though, temptation proves too sweet. But will Annie’s pesky grandmother and auntie welcome Jack as Annie’s choice or will they have him jumping through hoops to prove he’s the one? Fans of Debbie Macomber, Sherryl Woods, and Susan Wiggs are sure to love Sweet Indulgence, the first sweet romance novel in the Charleston Harbor series.

Mother Nature does her best to rip this family apart. When a hurricane threatens to wreak havoc on the South Carolina coast, Annie prepares Sweet Magnolia for what she thinks will be a day or two without electricity while Jack checks on Lady Powell down at the dock. But when Jack doesn’t return promptly, Annie becomes concerned and sets out only to find his lifeless body lying on the dock. Mary, Annie’s sister, makes an announcement that makes her the center of attention, but Annie has a bit of news herself causing them to share the limelight and causes a flurry of excitement on the island, setting in motion more parties and celebration. Annie is having second thoughts about running the Sweet Indulgence. Is she just feeling the pressure of motherhood or could this be the end of the cupcakery she started from the ground up? Sweet Carolina, the third installment of the Charleston Harbor Novels promises to be an uplifting sweet contemporary women’s fiction laced with a romantic thread, where honor and love of family always prevail.
