One glowing honeymoon. One stolen secret. One deadly dessert.

Newlywed food critic Darcy Finnegan has waited two months for her Sydney honeymoon, harbor lights, winter romance, and pavlova under the dazzling glow of the Vivid Sydney festival. With her Interpol husband Marcus finally at her side, she's determined to keep this trip blissfully murder-free.

But trouble has a way of finding Darcy, especially when her best friend and photojournalist Lizzie turns up unexpectedly in Australia, Schnoodle Mozart in tow.

At the worst possible moment, Mozart dives beneath a nearby table just as celebrity dessert judge Julian "Jules" Ransom drops dead mid-event. Darcy freezes, because beneath that same table are Lizzie's unmistakable shoes, sticking out far too neatly for comfort.

Now Darcy must race through Sydney's glamorous culinary world, from elite dessert festivals to dockside sugar fraud, unraveling stolen recipes, bitter rivalries, and a deadly frame job built to destroy everything she loves, including her marriage, her best friend's freedom, and the instincts she has always trusted.
