Jack Carter and Molly Desire are just housemates. There could never be anything between them - they're far too different. Aren't they?Jack, a successful romance writer, is looking for his soulmate. Molly, a fully paid-up sexaholic, views having to lodge in Jack's house as a necessary but very temporary evil.For a while, it looks as though they're the exception to the oldest rule in the book: the one that says opposites attract. But then Molly takes to writing her own, instantly successful, steamy romances, and Jack is furious. As the sparks start to fly, it appears there's a whole lot more to their relationship than meets the eye. But could it be that two such different housemates could really be ... soulmates?

Cookbook author Jasmine March's life is like a perfectly prepared béchamel-rich, satisfying, and drenched in butter. But even a great béchamel curdles sometimes. Her husband, Daniel, has taken up with one of his Zone-dieting drama students; Careme, her daughter, is bent on starving herself to death; and Jasmine's fellow foodies have had just about enough of her astronomically caloric recipes. To make matters worse, her publisher is threatening to cancel her contract. And then there's the small matter of the dead body she finds one morning on her kitchen floor. Filled with mouth-watering descriptions of Jasmine's creations-venison stew with Madeira and juniper berries, crispy chicken breasts stuffed with goat cheese and mint-Nina Killham's smart and spirited first novel is good enough to eat.
