Rosaline Palmer has always lived by those rules--well, except for when she dropped out of college to raise her daughter, Amelie. Now, with a paycheck as useful as greaseproof paper and a house crumbling faster than biscuits in tea, she's teetering on the edge of financial disaster. But where there's a whisk there's a way . . . and Rosaline has just landed a spot on the nation's most beloved baking show. <p/>Winning the prize money would give her daughter the life she deserves--and Rosaline is determined to stick to the instructions. However, more than collapsing trifles stand between Rosaline and sweet, sweet victory. Suave, well-educated, and parent-approved Alain Pope knows all the right moves to sweep her off her feet, but it's shy electrician Harry Dobson who makes Rosaline question her long-held beliefs--about herself, her family, and her desires. <p/>Rosaline fears falling for Harry is a guaranteed recipe for disaster. Yet as the competition--and the ovens--heat up, Rosaline starts to realize the most delicious bakes come from the heart.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] romance perfect for fans of <i>The Great British Bake Off!</i>"--<i><b>Book Riot</b></i><br><br>"[Hall] crafts some of the most sparkling prose in contemporary romance. . . . we give this fully baked concept our highest compliments."--<i><b>Entertainment Weekly</b></i><br><br>"A must-read."--<i><b>Hypable</b></i><br><br>"A romance that's made for fans of the UK's <i>Great British Bakeoff</i>."--<i><b>Oprah Daily</b></i><br><br>"Hall seamlessly combines humor, romance, and drama to create a story that is intimately believable and at once cozy and sexy. . . .
