Recipe for Disaster
Maureen Fergus
Before the new girl, Darlene, showed up, Francie’s life was almost as perfect as the scones she bakes every weekend for her clamoring customers. Besides her great weekend job, Francie also has a terrific best friend, Holly, and a serious crush on Tate Jarvis. Soon after Darlene arrives, she makes it known that she doesn’t get Francie’s whole baking obsession. What Darlene does seem to be into, however, is trying to act like she’s Holly’s best friend, while at the same time, making a move on Tate, as well. Just when things are at their burnt-pastries-lowest, Francie gets a chance to meet cute celebrity chef, Lorenzo LaRue. Will Francie and Lorenzo share more than just a love of baking? This story perfectly mixes humor, sweetness, and genuine sentiment into an irresistible concoction.
