Nicola can't believe it when she is invited to appear in the regional television competition of The Bake Off. Still reeling over her husband leaving her for a slim, pretty twenty-something, she feels her competitive side flair up when she meets her main rival - a stunning, skinny, twenty-four year old called Gemma. Nicola is sure that the jaw-dropping gorgeous presenter, David Chambers, is flirting with her - but she has noticed he has his eye on Gemma as well. He may be attracted to Gemma's pert figure and flirty laugh, but he can't resist Nicola's delicious cooking. Is David as charming as he seems? Or will someone else catch her eye...? Can Nicola beat off the rest of the competition in The Bake Off? Will she win first prize... and her man? There are three free recipes with the story.
