Finding Your Choux and Other Charming Pursuits by Erin Vere

She may have left her choux at the ball, but it’s not the prince who sets her wings aflutter – it’s the chef.
Cemre’s love of cooking and clever frugality has kept her family alive since her father died and left them penniless. But salvaging scraps from the food industry is no longer enough to meet her stepmother and stepsisters’ needs.
A groundbreaking cooking competition with a large cash prize appears to be the answer, but the bigoted judges are turning away female applicants. Help might await her at the palace, but she doesn’t have a dress for the upcoming ball.
Confounding matters, she meets the sweetest foreign chef, Massimo. Can he help her get into the competition? Or is she going to need a fairy godmother?
