A Diet to Die For

Meet Jen Stevens—a New York City event planner with a sweet tooth who’s thirty pounds overweight, in her thirties and flirting with disaster when it comes to sticking to her diet. Her work at the Yummy Channel constantly surrounds her with deep-fried, sugar-coated, chocolate-dipped temptation. When one of the channel’s most renowned celebrity bakers meets an early demise, Jen is hungry to find the truth.

Baker extraordinaire Bess Brantwood is the Yummy Channel’s brightest star—and the biggest diva of them all. Despite the off-camera drama, Jen has to admit that Bess’s chocolate buttercream cupcakes drizzled with caramel are simply to die for—and kill for, as it turns out—when Bess’s body is discovered outside her bakery.

Who iced the cupcake queen? With the help of her BFFs—fab food-blogger Gabby and super-fit life coach Elizabeth—Jen starts sifting for clues. She’s got all the ingredients for the perfect crime, including one delectable detective, one divalicious diary, and enough industry rivals for a battle of the network stars. But is Jen prepared to risk her life as well as her waistline?
