Book Description
Newly divorced and relieved of her position as head pastry chef in the restaurant she had slaved over for the last seven years, Ella Templeton was headed to the Sunshine Coast to lick her wounds and decide what to do with the rest of her life. This wasn’t the dreamy Christmas holiday that it sounded like. Ella hated Christmas and she was only going to the Sunshine Coast because that was where her parents lived and they’d offered her a place to stay. Thirty-four year old women shouldn’t be going home to their mothers—especially not Ella’s mother—even if her parents lived in a multimillion dollar mansion right on the beach and Ella could probably avoid her mother all together. No one told her she would be expected to take part in a bake-off on her mother’s YouTube channel, nor did they tell her about her fellow competitor. Michelin starred chef, Jake Collins. Please note: This story takes place in the sub-tropical area of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. It’s a Christmas story that takes place in Summer because…that’s how it happens down under. There is no snow, but there is plenty of heat…and I don’t just mean the temperature *wink wink* *This book uses UK/Australian English
