"An unflinchingly honest romance." āKirkus, starred review
From the author of THE MATZAH BALL and MR. PERFECT ON PAPER comes this hilarious and emotional rivals-to-lovers romance.
Step 1: Get the secret recipe. Step 2: Donāt fall in loveā¦
Avital Cohen isnāt wearing underpantsāwoefully, for unsexy reasons. Chronic pelvic pain has forced her to sideline her photography dreams and her love life. Itās all she can do to manage her familyās kosher bakery, Best Babka in Brooklyn, without collapsing.
She needs hired help.
And distractingly handsome Ethan Lippmann seems the perfect fit.
Except Ethan isnāt there to workāheās undercover, at the behest of his ironfisted grandfather. Though Lippmannās is a household name when it comes to mass-produced kosher baked goods, they donāt have the charm of Avitalās bakery. Or her grandfatherās world-famous pumpkin spice babka recipe.
As they bake side by side, Ethan soon finds himself more interested in Avital than in stealing family secrets, especially as he helps her find the chronic pain reliefāand pleasureāsheās been missing.
But perfecting the recipe for romance calls for leaving out the liesā¦even if coming clean means risking everything.
