Cake Wars (Novel Series)

Cake Wars
== Synopsis ==
Hayley and Josh Peterson learn that their pastry chef father Blake is engaged to Cristal, an employee at the family company, Carrington Atlantic. When Fallon's machinations to separate the couple backfire and cost her a promotion, she allies with Blake's nemesis and former employee, Jeff Colby, and strikes out on her own. Cristal's opportunistic nephew, Sam, threatens to expose her shady past as the fractured dynasty forms a united front in the wake of engineer Matthew Blaisdel's suspicious death. Things do not remain harmonious. Season after season, more Carringtons return to Atlanta with agendas, including Fallon and Steven's long absent mother, Alexis; their twisted older brother Adam; Amanda, a sibling who had been hidden in London; and Dominique, the illegitimate daughter of Blake's father, Thomas.
The reboot updates several elements from the 1980s original, including moving the setting from Denver, Colorado to Atlanta, Georgia; shifting the lead to young businesswoman Fallon; making Steven's homosexuality a nonissue to Blake; and changing gold digger Sammy Jo from a woman to a gay man. Additionally, Blake's new wife and her nephew are Latin American, and chauffeur Michael Culhane and the Colby family are African-American.
