Every year, the National Baking Championship brings together the most talented bakers in the country to compete for fame, fortune, and the coveted Golden Whisk Trophy. Professional chefs, pastry artists, family bakery owners, and rising stars all gather beneath one roof to prove that they have what it takes to create something unforgettable.
You never expected to be one of them.
Now you're standing among some of the best bakers in the nation, armed with recipes, determination, and just enough confidence to pretend you know what you're doing.
Unfortunately, there is one major problem.
His name is Lucas Bennett.
Award-winning baker.
Television favorite.
Golden boy of the culinary world.
And the most irritating person you have ever met.
From the moment you arrive, the two of you seem incapable of agreeing on anything. He thinks you're stubborn. You think he's arrogant. He thinks your methods are reckless. You think his methods are boring.
The judges, meanwhile, think your rivalry is fantastic television.
As the competition heats up, friendships form, kitchen disasters strike, secret recipes are revealed, and sparks begin flying in places they definitely shouldn't.
The only question is whether you'll win the championship before your heart completely betrays you.
