Strong Appetites

For most of her young life, recent college graduate Veronica Peach has had a strong, secret hunger to buy and own her aunt's gift shop. As she prepares to satisfy this craving, she encounters unexpected obstacles, including a tempting entre of overwhelming new emotions. Although Veronica believes that the source of these feelings, handsome city inspector Jason Stanley, is also the cause of the store's recent troubles, she cannot resist tasting this forbidden fruit. Veronica, utilizing the knowledge she's gained from earning her degree in business, creates a recipe for action that she hopes will save her aunt's gift boutique and the five neighboring stores. She even manages to survive an attempt on her life and other mysterious events. In an effort to restrain her hunger for Jason, though, she finds her education and expertise of no help at all.
