A delectable romantic comedy about a woman who fakes an engagement to
the boy next door to enter a couples cooking contest--named one of the
best romances of the year by NPR, USA Today, and Entertainment
Weekly.
When it comes to bread, Reena Manji knows exactly what she's doing. She
treats her sourdough starters like (somewhat unruly) children. But when
it comes to Reena's actual family--and their constant meddling in her
life--well, that recipe always ends in disaster.
Now Reena's parents have found her yet another potential Good Muslim
Husband. This one has the body of Captain America, a delicious British
accent, and lives right across the hall. He's the perfect, mouthwatering
temptation . . . and completely ruined by the unwelcome side dish of
parental interference.
Reena refuses to marry anyone who works for her father. She won't be
attracted to Nadim's sweet charm or gorgeous lopsided smile. That is,
until the baking opportunity of a lifetime presents itself: a couples'
cooking competition with the prize of her dreams. Reena will do anything
to win--even asking Nadim to pretend they're engaged. But when it comes
to love, baking your bread doesn't always mean you get to eat it too.
