When her boyfriend cheated, Jamie did what any rational math teacher would do: she moved three thousand miles to Rotheberg, the “Alpine Jewel of Oregon.” She can live with the town’s weird obsession with The Sound of Music, and Mrs. Fogelhaus’s stollen is to die for, but when her principal assigns her a baking class, she needs help. She teaches calculations, not cooking.
Rotheberg’s golden boy, Dylan Mead, should be the solution to her equation. The culinary genius is handsome, loaded, and would do anything for his hometown. Helping Jamie teach a bunch of kids to bake brownies should be a piece of cake. Except he wants to demolish her classroom to build his bakery.
But Jamie's not about to throw in the towel and return to Virginia. She's not going to let a silver-spooned pastry chef torch her class. And she's definitely not going to let him melt her heart.
Watch out, Dylan Mead--this mathematician's got your number.
When You Bake with the Enemy is a sweet, closed-door, enemies-to-more, small-town romantic comedy with plenty of chemistry, a dash of kitschy "Bavarian" atmosphere, and a side order of delicious pastry. Plus a guaranteed happily ever after.
Lia Huni writes sweet romantic comedy that won't steam your glasses.
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Lia served nine years in the US Air Force, two of them in Germany where she met and married her husband. She left the service after their first child was born, then traveled the world for another decade as a military wife and mother. When her husband retired, the family settled in a small town in the mountains of Oregon that bears no resemblance to the town in her books. Well, not much. Okay, there's a strong resemblance, but it's completely coincidental.
In her When in Rotheberg series, you’ll find cinnamon roll heroes, strong heroines, fun supporting characters, sweet romance without explicit content, and a wandering cat named Alf, all set in a kitschy “Bavarian” town on the Eastern slopes of the Cascades. The books are all linked through family and friendship but can be read as stand-alones.
When she’s not writing romcoms, she’s writing science fiction under a not-so-secret pen name.
