This delicious new book from bestselling author Hannah Langdon is as sweet and satisfying as a freshly baked scone!
When Juliet Carlisle returns home to her family's gorgeous, crumbling manor house in the English countryside, she doesn't expect to stay long. But she's intrigued by the new cookery school being launched on the grounds… that is until she meets the guy who's been hired to run it. Though undeniably handsome, disgraced celebrity chef Léo Brodeur immediately strikes Juliet as bossy and rude. Juliet has enough troubles in her life without adding a snooty French chef to the mix. Her ex won't leave her alone, her sisters are struggling, and their beloved home is literally falling down around them. Still, she promises to help make the school—their last hope—a success... as long as she doesn't have to be nice to Léo. But working shoulder to shoulder in the kitchen as the sun sets behind them, Juliet finds it difficult to remain frosty. Surrounded by the warm scents of baking croissants, fresh garden thyme, and Léo's peppery cologne, she begins to see a side to the chef—patient, thoughtful, and funny—that she hadn't noticed before. Just as her heart begins to thaw, Juliet discovers what really happened back in France, leaving her not knowing who or what to believe. Should she run away, or fight for the chance of happiness she's found at Feywood? Or will old wounds and Léo's mysterious past doom their blossoming kitchen romance for good? A wonderful, warm country kitchen romance full of surprises. Perfect for fans of Heidi Swain, Phillipa Ashley, and Sarah Morgan.
