Book Spotlight: Trifling Favors by Heather Hiestand
“The sweetest treat is a kiss…
Greggory Redcake’s plate is full. Widowed young and left with two small children, the manager of the Kensington location of the illustrious tea shop is besieged on all sides between the bakery and family matters. If only his remarkably efficient shop assistant, Betsy Popham, could manage his home life, too! But Greggory can’t linger on thoughts of Betsy’s fetching smile when a dead body is discovered in the bakery…Betsy has no time for romance, not even with the delectable Mr. Redcake, whose kisses are all too unforgettable. Haunted by a specter from her family’s past, Betsy is terrified that the man blackmailing her has turned to deadly violence. Yet the only way to save her position–and possibly her life–is to accept Greggory’s help as their delicious attraction sweetens into the tantalizing promise of true love…
Heather Hiestand was born in Illinois, but her
family migrated west before she started school. Since then she has claimed
Washington State as home, except for a few years in California. She wrote her
first story at age seven and went on to major in creative writing at the
University of Washington. Her first published fiction was a mystery short
story, but since then it has been all about the many flavors of romance.
Heather’s first published romance short story was set in the Victorian period
and she continues to return, fascinated by the rapid changes of the nineteenth
century. The author of many novels, novellas, and short stories, she is a
bestseller at both Amazon and Barnes and Noble. With her husband and son, she
makes her home in a small town and supposedly works out of her tiny office,
though she mostly writes in her easy chair in the living room. She also writes
as Anh Leod.
