With the support of her friends, Laurel McBane’s dream of attending culinary school came true. Now, she’s repaying their kindness by creating extravagantly luscious tiers of cakes and other confectionary delights that add the perfect touch to their clients’ weddings. As for romance, the low-key Laurel has had a mega crush on Parker’s older brother, Delaney Brown, since childhood.
But she’s convinced that the Ivy League lawyer is still out of her reach. When Laurel’s quicksilver moods get the better of her—leading to an angry, hot, altogether mind-blowing kiss with Del—she’ll have to quiet the doubts in her mind to turn a moment of passion into forever…
廚藝精湛的糕點師傅蘿瑞.麥克班和她最要好的朋友帕可、艾瑪和小麥一起經營「誓約」婚顧公司。她替客戶製作奢華的結婚蛋糕及其他美味甜點,整天受到浪漫婚禮的氛圍圍繞。至於愛情,基本上蘿瑞相信它,但她個性低調,不太懂得客戶追求的奢華、高調愛情。她欣賞的是堅強、有智慧的男人,就像帕可的哥哥德藍尼一樣,她從小就默默愛慕他。
有的暗戀比其他戀愛都還持久。德藍尼是康乃狄克州赫赫有名布朗家族的風度翩翩貴公子、耶魯大學畢業的高材生。蘿瑞堅信長春藤盟校出身的執業律師對她而言仍太遙不可及。此外,德藍尼對她們四個姊妹淘都太過保護,總是以大哥自居,不曾跨越那條界線,應該不會對她做非分之想才對,至少她是這麼想。
直到一次激烈的爭吵改變了一切。蘿瑞的善變心情導致她又氣又惱地吻了德藍尼──他們能平息這轉變在彼此內心引起的激動與疑惑,把一時激情化成永恆嗎?來自中產階級的鄰家女孩,可否贏得上流社會富家子的愛情?兩人能在社會眼光與同儕壓力下,克服彼此的差異,擁有美好結局嗎?
