Cooking seemed like the perfect distraction - until a delicious chef was thrown in the mix . . .

Escaping from corporate city life into the heart of the Berkshire countryside, Ella Maloney hopes to find rural tranquillity and a chance to sort out the problems in her long-term relationship. On arriving, she realises tranquillity is in short supply, but welcomes the distraction her chaotic new life offers - until she meets the devastatingly gorgeous, but equally attached, chef Ash Lawrence, and realises that he's maybe one distraction too many.

When Ella's favourite top-rated TV cookery programme - Dewberry's Dinners - comes looking for a venue to film their latest show, she pulls out all the culinary stops in an attempt to keep her mind on the task in hand (and not on the gorgeous chef), but it's hard to keep your head when all around you people are losing theirs . . .
