A Recipe for Trouble: Two rivals. One kitchen. A recipe for romance (and disaster).

Josie Lin has spent years perfecting the art of avoiding Theo Marchand, her childhood best friend-turned-baking nemesis. But when their meddling grandmothers force them to team up for Maplewood’s annual bake-off, Josie is stuck sharing a kitchen—and an oven—with the one person who drives her completely crazy.

Theo is back in town and ready to prove he’s the better baker, but working with Josie is nothing like he expected. Between flour fights, stolen ingredients, and way too many almost-kisses, their rivalry is heating up faster than the oven.

With the entire town watching—and betting on when they’ll finally crack—Josie and Theo have one question left to answer: Will this bake-off end in victory, disaster, or the sweetest mistake of all?

A Recipe for Trouble is a closed-door, small-town romantic comedy filled with hilarious banter, slow-burn chemistry, and meddling matchmakers who won’t take no for an answer. Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers romance, baking showdowns, and laugh-out-loud rom-coms with heart.
