She baked the perfect life... Then she tasted the truth.
Christelle Smit, a picture-perfect Cape Town housewife, prides herself on her immaculate home, perfect pastries, and enviable suburban life.

Determined to uncover the truth, Christelle dives headfirst into a gritty underworld of clubs, secrets, and danger—a world light-years away from her manicured existence.
