A Recipe for Romance

A hilarious, heartwarming read from the Queen of romantic comedy…

***Previously published as Chocolate Wishes***

In the picture-perfect Lancashire village of Sticklepond, confectioner Chloe Lyon whips up more than just sweet treats. Her famous Chocolate Wishes, each containing a personalised prediction, are as inspirational as they are delicious. If only her own life were as easy to forecast – then she would have foreseen being jilted at the altar.

But when a new vicar arrives in the village, it’s as though someone has turned up the heat, and the rumour mill soon bubbles over. Not only is Raffy Sinclair the charismatic ex-frontman of rock band Mortal Ruin, he's also Chloe's first love and the man who broke her heart.

Try as she might, Chloe can't ignore this blast from her past. Now could be the time to make her own wish – and to dare to believe it could come true. Perhaps the secret ingredient to romance is a second chance…

A charming, feel-good novel, perfect for fans of Katie Fforde, Cathy Bramley and Jenny Colgan.
