What she isn''t expecting is chocolate-making bootcamp! In this stark laboratory, chocolate is everything . It''s a very serious set-up, with master chocolatiers to be revered and where favouritism and fanaticism, subterfuge and scandal are rife! Clara is way out of her depth. But caught up in the world of chocolate school, picking her friends - and her enemies - carefully, she discovers a newfound passion. Until a secret is revealed, and Clara has to decide whether to risk everything she has for a new life and love... ''It just wouldn''t be Christmas without Jo''s book in your stocking!'' Jill Mansell
