Jamie O'Callaghan might have bitten off more than she can chew… When her boyfriend cheated, Jamie did what any rational math teacher would do: she moved three thousand miles to Rotheberg, the “Alpine Jewel of Oregon.” She can live with the town’s weird obsession with The Sound of Music, and Mrs. Fogelhaus’s stollen is to die for, but when her principal assigns her a baking class, she needs help. She teaches calculations, not cooking. Rotheberg’s golden boy, Dylan Mead, should be the solution to her equation. The culinary genius is handsome, loaded, and would do anything for his hometown. Helping Jamie teach a bunch of kids to bake brownies should be a piece of cake. Except he wants to demolish her classroom to build his bakery. But Jamie's not about to throw in the towel and return to Virginia. She's not going to let a silver-spooned pastry chef torch her class. And she's definitely not going to let him melt her heart. Watch out, Dylan Mead--this mathematician's got your number. When You Bake with the Enemy is a no-spice, enemies-to-more, small-town romantic comedy with plenty of chemistry, a dash of kitschy "Bavarian" atmosphere, and a side order of delicious pastry. Plus a guaranteed happily ever after. Comparable works include The Hating Game, books by Emma St Clair, Jenny Proctor, Sarah Wilson, and every Hallmark movie you've ever seen.
