Anais Delacroix became famous throughout the world at eight years old when tragedy struck her family. At twenty-five, all she wants is to be left alone in her Oxfordshire studio to create extraordinary sculptures out of sugar.
When she receives the biggest commission of her career, to sculpt a full-sized ball gown out of sugar for a lavish birthday party for one of Hollywood’s greatest actresses, she’s forced to hire an assistant.
Vaughn Parker has just been suspended from his job at one of London’s top restaurants for getting in a fistfight with one of their celebrity customers. Needing to get away from the spotlight, he agrees to be Anais’s temporary assistant.
Anais is convinced that she’ll be able to get rid of him as quickly as her previous assistants, none of whom lasted longer than two weeks.
During late nights spent in the studio, Anais realises there’s more to Vaughn than just his scandalous reputation. The question is, after being hurt in the past, can she trust him enough to reveal not just her feelings but also her ugliest secrets?
Tragic Pixie Girl is a tender, heart-warming workplace romance featuring lots of sugar sculptures, cepelinai and a very overprotective Women’s Guild.
