Kissing kosher - jean meltzer

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: Dont fall in love.

Avital Cohen isnt wearing underpants--woefully, for unsexy reasons.

Chronic pelvic pain has forced her to sideline her photography dreams and her love life.

Its all she can do to manage her familys kosher bakery, Best Babka in Brooklyn, without collapsing.

She needs hired help.

And distractingly handsome Ethan Lippmann seems the perfect fit.

Except Ethan isnt there to work--hes undercover, at the behest of his ironfisted grandfather.

Though Lippmanns is a household name when it comes to mass-produced kosher baked goods, they dont have the charm of Avitals bakery.

Or her grandfathers 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--shes been missing.

But perfecting the recipe for romance calls for leaving out the lies.

even if coming clean means risking everything.
