The Recipe for A royal wedding. A reignited dream. An irresistible second chance. After a career-ending scandal, Lindsay Bingham traded ambition for a quiet life in Juniper Springs. But after her best friend learns she’s the lost heir to the throne of St. Michel, Lindsay is whisked away to paradise for a royal wedding—and a surprising shot at redemption. Mateo Montego, once a star chef, is in St. Michel for the royal wedding and the St. Michel Food and Wine Festival. He is determined to rebuild his shattered career. Romance? Definitely off the menu. Then Lindsay lands an unexpected role hosting a food and travel show… with Mateo as her first interview. Sparks fly—especially when one sizzling segment turns into a cohosting gig neither of them saw coming. Will love be the unexpected ingredient that delivers a delicious happily ever after?

Award winning author Nancy Robards Thompson lives and writes in northeastern Tennessee, but her imagination transports her all over the world. She's worked as a television show stand-in, a production and extras casting assistant for movies; and has had several jobs in public relations and the fashion industry. She earned a degree in journalism only to realize reporting "just the facts" bored her silly. Much more content to report to her muse, Nancy has found Nirvana doing what she loves most – writing contemporary and historical womens fiction full-time. After hanging up her press pass, this two-time nominee for the Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart struck gold in July 2002 when she won the award. Since then, she’s gone on to publish more than 30 books, which critics have deemed, “…funny, smart and observant.”
