The Premise

A meticulous Boston pastry chef and a chaotic self-taught home baker are competing for a $50,000 bake-off prize at a Vermont inn — until a cursed antique brooch swaps their luck. His soufflés collapse while her wild substitutions win raves, and the only way to temporarily reverse it is physical contact. Which would be fine if they weren’t direct competitors. The paranormal element creates escalating romantic tension by forcing two rivals into repeated physical proximity.

Customization Notes

This draft is part of the Charmed & Chaotic connected standalone collection — five books linked by a shared brand and magical-object thread.

The bake-off setting taps into the competitive romance niche and pairs well with seasonal autumn marketing.
