Book excerpt: What's your recipe for happiness? Verity never thought she'd fall out of love with cooking...that is until her best friend passed away, taking their shared passion with her. And now it looks like Verity's career and love life might soon follow suit. Desperate to escape her problems, Verity jumps at the chance to help out a friend and establish a cooking school in a new town. Her only demand: she doesn't have to do the cooking! The new cookery school is the perfect place to hide until she's ready to put herself out there again...but starting a new business is far from easy, especially with new friendships and maybe even the chance of new romance.
