Audrey Lane Stirs the Pot

A charming new LGBTQIA+ romcom from the bestselling author of BOYFRIEND MATERIAL. Audrey Lane is perfectly fine. Really. So what if she left her high-powered job as a Very Important Journalist–and her even higher-powered long-term girlfriend–to live a quiet life as a reporter for the second-biggest newspaper in Shropshire? And so what if she keeps hearing that same higher-powered long-term now-ex-girlfriend in her head night and day,constantly judging just how small Audrey’s allowed her life to become? She’s fine. She’s happy. She’s perfectly within her groove. Do not-in-their-groove people get weekday drunk and impulsively apply for the UK’s most beloved baking show? All rightso maybe she’s not completely finebut being on Bake Expectations is opening her world again in ways she never anticipated. First through fellow contestant Doriswhose personal story of queer love during WW2 captures Audrey’s heartimagination and journalistic interest like nothing has in ages. Then through Jennifer Halletthe most foul-tempered (and fouler-mouthed) producerwomanand menace Audrey has ever met. Jennifer should be off-limitsbut her fire lights something unexpected inside of Audreymaking her want to burn back a million times brighter. A million times hotter. A million times more herself than she’s been in a longlong time.
