LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FINALIST โข A POPSUGAR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
Food is their love language, but can they follow a recipe for romance?
Tori Moore, high school chemistry teacher, avid home baker, and soon-to-be empty nester, auditions for the American Bake-o-Rama TV competition at the urging of her twin teenagers. The prize money could allow her to finally open her own bakery, but plagued by self-doubt after a messy divorce, itโs not only money standing between Tori and her dreams.

Once on set in Sonoma wine country, Tori catches the eye of Kendra Campbell, the notoriously ruthless celebrity chef and Bake-o-Rama judge. This show is Kendraโs ticket to financial security, but sheโs been told to soften her approach for viewers seeking feel-good entertainmentโquite the task after years of fighting for space in a male-dominated industry.

Tori and Kendra find it increasingly hard to keep their distance through six slow-burn weeks of cooking challenges and kitchen disasters. For both, the best prize of all might just be love.
