'Fans of EMILY HENRY will devour this!' Cecilia Rabess
Love could be a recipe for disaster, or the best thing they ever cooked up...
Kieran O'Neill should be on top of the world. He's just won a cooking reality TV show, he's on track to open his own restaurant before he turns thirty, and he's even got a high-paying cookbook deal. Still he can't impress his stuck-up family, his ADHD makes planning ahead impossible and, worst of all, his ghostwriter is the most uptight, humourless woman he's ever met. But to be seen as a serious chef like he's always wanted, he needs to finish this book...
Ellie Wasserman is barely holding it together. She's a thirty-year-old widow living with her needy in-laws, her little brother won't adult without her help, and instead of working on her own cookbook, she's ghostwriting one for the chaotic, impulsive Kieran O'Neill. Or would be, if he'd ever answer her emails. But to own her own home like she's always dreamed of, she needs to finish this book...
As their deadline gets closer and the heat between them builds, can these two driven, lonely people let go of their past hurts and make something truly sweet together? Or will their fragile new love go up in smoke?
The ultimate will-they-won't-they, enemies-to-lovers romance that readers everywhere are falling in love with! If you love THE SPANISH LOVE DECEPTION, WILDFIRE and Ali Hazelwood, you will love THE SLOWEST BURN . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Chamberlain's heartfelt opposites attract debut introduces two beautifully flawed characters who learn through cooking just how much they complement each other. Three years after her husband's sudden death, Ellie Wasserman, still in mourning, lives in a cottage behind her in-laws' home and makes a living ghostwriting cookbooks. Her newest client is Kieran O'Neill, who made a name for himself on a reality cooking show. Laidback Kieran, who struggles with ADHD and dyslexia, immediately clashes with uptight Ellie, who favors hyperorganization and intense focus. To help them work together, their editor sends them to wine country for a week to work with no distractions. The plan pays off; as they learn more about each other, their animosity falls away. Once back in the real world, Kieran must face his judgmental parents, who don't approve of his career or perpetual singledom, at a family party and asks Ellie to come with him as his fake girlfriend. Their attraction is intense and mutual, but are they ready for a real relationship? Chamberlain makes finding the answer to that question an emotional roller-coaster ride. Readers won't be able to get enough.
