Catherine Pinkerton is the only daughter and sole heir to the Marquess of Rock Turtle Cove. Coveted by many, including the King of Hearts himself, for her pretty looks and appealing noble status, one would think that her future is set in royal stone; happy without a care in the world. But it’s quite the opposite. Cath would much rather be in the warmth and comfort the kitchen brings her, baking delectable treats. And she hopes that one day, she’ll be able to open her own bakery. But the possibility of being queen is much too attractive for her mother to consider anything else and Cath knows that her parents would not accept anything else. But her hopes only grow when she runs into the new court joker employed at the castle, and they both feel an undeniable pull for one another. Cath can’t help but fall down the deep end of the rabbit hole with Jest and she continues to try and catch a glimpse of a shimmer of a happy ending for the two of them together, however, a fabled monster makes an appearance and the pressure of the king’s marriage proposal weighing on Cath’s shoulders, it seems like Wonderland has other things in store for the passionate, only daughter of Rock Turtle Cove.
