A brand new smart, funny, joyful romcom from the author of The Matzah Ball

From the author of THE MATZAH BALL and MR. PERFECT ON PAPER comes this hilarious and emotional rivals-to-lovers romance. Step 1: Get the secret recipe. Step 2: Don't fall in love... Avital Cohen isn't wearing underpants--woefully, for unsexy reasons. Chronic pelvic pain has forced her to sideline her photography dreams and her love life. It's all she can do to manage her family's kosher bakery, Best Babka in Brooklyn, without collapsing. She needs hired help. And distractingly handsome Ethan Lippmann seems the perfect fit. Except Ethan isn't there to work--he's undercover, at the behest of his ironfisted grandfather. Though Lippmann's is a household name when it comes to mass-produced kosher baked goods, they don't have the charm of Avital's bakery. Or her grandfather's world-famous pumpkin spice babka recipe. As they bake side by side, Ethan soon finds himself more interested in Avital than in stealing family secrets, especially as he helps her find the chronic pain relief--and pleasure--she's been missing. But perfecting the recipe for romance calls for leaving out the lies...even if coming clean means risking everything.

A laugh-out-loud romcom about a Jewish woman who is secretly a bestselling Christmas romance author.

Kerzenlicht, Rugelach und ein Erzfeind zum Verlieben Dass sich hinter Margot Cross, einer Bestsellerautorin von über zwanzig Weihnachtsromanen, ausgerechnet Rachel Rubenstein-Goldblatt verbirgt, Tochter des berühmtesten Rabbis New Yorks, weiß keiner – am allerwenigsten ihre jüdische Familie. Doch als sich ihr Verlag eine Chanukka-Geschichte von ihr wünscht, gerät Rachels wohlbehütetes Doppelleben in Gefahr. Um weiter schreiben zu können, muss ihr eins gelingen: Sie muss eine Karte für die größte Chanukka-Party der Stadt ergattern, um Inspirationen zu sammeln. Das Dilemma: Ausgerechnet ihr Erzfeind aus Kindertagen, der unerhört gut aussehende Jacob Greenberg, veranstaltet das Event, und die Tickets sind restlos ausverkauft. Wo soll da nur das Happy End her? »Diese herzerwärmende RomCom wird Menschen aller Glaubensrichtungen das Weihnachtsfest versüßen.« Publishers Weekly
