Flour, Sugar, Heat

By Caenys Kerr

French pastry chef Angelique Clemenceau arrives in Sydney on a working-holiday visa determined to travel light, live cheaply, and experience Australia from the inside. When her belongings are stolen at a backpacker hostel, she is left without money, identification, or options. Forced to survive on nerve and talent, Angelique walks the streets in search of work, landing unexpectedly in the kitchen of Rosetti's, a respected Italian restaurant on the harbour.

There she collides with Vincent Rosetti, a charismatic celebrity chef whose confidence, reputation, and culinary methods challenge everything she believes about food, professionalism, and control. As Angelique proves her skill under pressure, sparks fly over dessert standards, creative authority, and unspoken attraction.

With her future uncertain when she is implicated in a murder, Angelique must decide how much of herself she is willing to risk for stability, passion, and a connection she never planned to make.
