And Zara standing in the middle of it all - wondering when she became the woman he stopped choosing. She warned him. Three times. The first - he dismissed her. The second - he called her jealous.

    A fake engagement. A real disaster. And a campervan called The Tipsy Cone. ••• Florence Butterworth bakes dreams for a living. Her reality, however, is a crumbling mess: her ex boyfriend - London's most feared food critic - left her claiming her pastries were "forgettable". Now, at her cousin Arabella's lavish Kensington wedding, the groom has bolted to Scotland, and Florence is cornered into the most ridiculous lie of her life: pretending to be madly in love with Jasper Finch. He's the catering waiter with a crooked smile, a beaten-up orange campervan, and the outrageous opinion that clotted cream goes before the jam (absolute heresy). One month. One campervan. Two total opposites. And a high-stakes baking competition in the Cotswolds that could make or break Florence's career. Faking it was supposed to be simple. But between secret manuscripts, foggy motorway confessions, and a vengeful ex‑critic determined to expose them, Florence is about to learn that the perfect recipe for love doesn't require a glossy finish - just the right amount of chaos. And Jasper Finch is nothing if not perfectly chaotic. María de Melque ©️ 2026 All rights reserved.
