Alana Gregson had her life figured out. After working in kitchens around the world she returned home to Lewiston to open the Sugar and Spice Bakery. After five years the bakery has a steady following, a loyal staff and Alana is happy. Down the street her sister Marta owns the Glass Slipper Bridal Shop and her other sister Angela owns the Rose and Thorn Florists. Alana could be content working in her bakery for the rest of her life, however unexplained break-ins and attempted kidnappings soon lead her to realize Lewiston is not the bucolic small town it seemed and its secrets are starting to come to light.
