A small-town bakery. A hardened food critic. A recipe for romance neither of them expected.

From bestselling romance author Audrey Stone comes a deliciously slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story about second chances, culinary creativity, and the courage to believe in love. The Recipe for Us is Book 4 in the Havenbrook Romances series - warm, witty, and utterly unputdownable. Perfect for fans of The Hating Game, Love and Other Words, and The Great British Bake Off.

About the Book

Zena Parks has perfected every recipe in her beloved bakery, Sweet Crumb. But when unpaid invoices threaten to close her doors, she enters Havenbrook's prestigious Seaside Baking Championship, hoping the prize money will save everything she's built. Her pastries are technically flawless. But according to a mysterious stranger, they lack the one ingredient she needs most: heart.

That stranger is Vincent Rhodes, once London's most feared food critic. A scathing review ended in tragedy, and now he hides in Havenbrook under an alias. When he wanders into Sweet Crumb and calls Zena's scones restrained, she is furious. But after uncovering his identity, she decides to use his expertise to her advantage.

Their deal is simple: Vincent coaches her before the competition; she helps him rediscover his passion for food. To avoid rumours of unfair coaching, they pretend to be dating. As they experiment with thyme-infused caramel and star anise, flour flies - and sparks ignite.

When a ruthless celebrity chef threatens to disqualify Zena unless Vincent backs off, their partnership fractures. In a stormy confrontation on the beach, Vincent confesses he wants their relationship to be real. Torn between heart and ambition, Zena must decide: trust the critic who once threatened everything she'd built - or protect the dream she's fought so hard to keep?
