Simone LaFray and the Chocolatiers' Ball

Simone leads a double life.

As a covert agent, she walks in the footprints of her spy mother, darting between the shadows. If she's not sleuthing, she's icing eclairs and dusting pastries in her father's patisserie.

When a notorious thief returns to Paris, the patisserie is threatened, and Simone questions everything. She and her father must participate in the exclusive Chocolatiers' Ball to redeem themselves and catch the thief. Simone's concealed life is crumbling, the shop hangs in the balance . . . and now she needs a ball gown

Life in a French patisserie may not be as sweet as she thought.
