Book description
A deliciously indulgent read from a hot debut writer and first in a
series of books set in Carrington's Department Store - where life is sweeter…
Perfect for fans of Meet Me in the Cupcake Cafe and Breakfast at Darcy's.
Georgie Hart loves her job - running the luxury handbag concession at
Carrington's Department store in the pretty seaside town of Mulberry
Bay, and treating herself (once too often!) to a red velvet cupcake with
buttercream icing in Carrington's café.
But Georgie is thrown into disarray when Carrington's is plunged into a
recession-busting makeover, cueing the arrival of femme fatale Maxine,
who wields the axe in her immaculately-manicured hands.
It spells a recipe for disaster for Georgie and soon she is fighting
not only for her job, but also for the attentions of her gorgeous boss,
James. And when hot newcomer Tom arrives, who may or may not be the best
thing since sliced bread, Georgie must decide where her loyalties really
lie… 'Defies the chick lit cliché.' - Heat magazine
'Cupcakes at Carrington's is deliciously delightful from start to
finish, sprinkled with magic and full of heart.' Miranda Dickinson
'I loved it. 5/5' - iheart-chicklit. blogspot. co. uk
'So much more than just a chick lit novel. It has the humour of Sophie
Kinsella, the warmth of Cecelia Ahern and the wit and wisdom of Maeve
Binchy and the cheek of Are You Being Served?' - Jamieson Villeneuve,

'I loved Cupcakes At Carrington's, a warm, witty, loveable read with
plenty of sparkle and charm.' - Rowan Coleman Alexandra grew up in
Brighton and left school at sixteen to run away to London with dreams of
being a writer. On realising that she needed a proper job too, she went
to work in an office.
Throughout her twenty year corporate career, she survived many dull
meetings by writing a scene or two, until she could bear it no longer
and collapsed in a heap and begged her husband to support her while she
lounged on a chaise and waited for the muse to arrive. He's now living
in hope that she'll become rich and famous so he can retire to sun
himself by an infinity pool somewhere exotic.
After escaping office life, Alexandra wrote a weekly City Girl column
for a major London paper for two years.
Alexandra lives in a rural village near Brighton with her husband,
daughter and two very shiny black Labradors.
