About the book

Ellie Alexander's Bake, Borrow, and Steal, the latest mouthwatering addition to the Bakeshop Series set in Ashland, Oregon!

As the vibrant colors of fall paint the quaint town of Ashland, Oregon, Jules and her Torte team are gearing up for their most important event yet. They have been chosen to create intricate chocolate sculptures for the grand opening of an exhibit showcasing Shakespeare's Lost Pages at SOMA. The museum, situated on the grounds of Southern Oregon University, is preparing to unveil the Bard's missing manuscript, Double Falsehood, hailed as a groundbreaking discovery. Alongside crafting decadent chocolate masterpieces, Torte will be serving an authentic Elizabethan feast straight out of a centuries-old cookbook, featuring delectable treats like Lardy cakes, Frangipane tarts, and chestnut cream jellies.

Jules soon realizes the enormity of the task at hand as the event draws near. Despite feeling overwhelmed and stressed, her team comes together to support her, ensuring that the elaborate chocolate creations are safely delivered to the museum. With the preparations complete, Jules finally breathes a sigh of relief and immerses herself in the excitement of the gala. However, her peace is short-lived as news spreads that Shakespeare's manuscript has gone missing just before the unveiling. To make matters worse, the security guard assigned to protect the priceless artifact has been murdered. Is this a botched heist or could a killer be lurking within the museum walls?
