Noelle

Noelle Brittler’s task is simple. Marry and marry well. And yet...

Emboldened by the successful marriages of her three elder sisters, Noelle is determined that she will have nothing but perfection in a suitor. She lives her day-to-day life planning parties, organizing charity events, and taking slow, wistful turns around the garden, burdened with dreams of a future that she feels is slipping away from her.

Kenneth Black is anything but perfect.

Destitute from a young age, Kenneth has managed to make a name for himself. His bakery, La Petite Paradis, is one of the most frequented bake shops in Manhattan- but he is still nothing more than a lowly baker in a big city. When Kenneth rescues a young woman from a terrifying encounter, he never expects to find himself presented with an invitation to one of the most coveted events of the year!

Aided by the intoxicating Miss Noelle Brittler, Kenneth adopts the character of a well-known architect in order to attend. Their plan seems to be working well. That is, until certain costly items begin disapearing from the amongst the guests. There are cries of theft and everyone is looking for someone to blame.

As tensions rise and passions come to fruition, the pressure is on to find the thief and clear Kenneth’s name.

He can’t have Noelle, but he’d sooner be tossed out on his ear than allow her think him a thief.
