A Recipe for Disaster by Belinda Missen
Lucy Williams is a baker- and a good one at that. Since she and her husband Oliver split
when he went abroad to work she has been working school dinners and making the
occasional birthday cake but not feeling at all fulfilled, both in life and in her bank
account. When Oliver breezes back into town, he is now a celebrity Michelin starred
chef and wants her to work for him. Lucy knows what this will entail but having ambition
does things on her own terms. As she prepares to divorce Oliver her side of the business
takes off- but having a star behind her helps. This is so much more than a romance/
rom-com. A book about someone not being taken for granted and using both their
talents and good sense to do the best for them. Not what someone else wants but them.
Sometimes you have to put yourself first when life has perhaps been harsh to you in the
past. We all learn from experiences and although perhaps don’t always know what we
want or need, we may know what we don’t want. Maybe even to look at ourselves as
well as at others for we may need to make steps in one direction or another.
If you love a strong character, cakes (who doesn’t?) and a smile then this could be the
book for you.

A Recipe for Disaster
Meet Lucy, master wedding cake baker, idealistic school canteen crusader, and someone whose
broken heart just won’t seem to mend… Lucy is quietly confident that she has made the right choices in life. Surrounded by friends and
family in a small country town, Lucy can easily suppress the feeling that something is missing
from her life. But when a blast from the past arrives in the form of her estranged husband, international
celebrity chef Oliver Murray, Lucy’s carefully constructed life begins to crumble beneath her
like overbaked meringue. Is Oliver’s return all business or is it motivated by something more? A Recipe for Disaster starts long after most love stories would have ended, proving it is
never too late to offer someone a second slice of cake or a second chance. Perfect for fans of Carole Mathews, Mhairi McFarlane and Carrie Hope Fletcher. Purchase Links Amazon: https://goo.gl/uee5hQ iBooks: https://goo.gl/1ZrjjH Paperback: https://goo.gl/PThsU8
Author Bio –
Belinda Missen is an award-winning and best-selling author, screenwriter, and freelance
writer from Geelong, Australia. A reader from an early age, Belinda began writing her
own stories shortly after her love affair with Steven Spielberg’s film Jurassic Park began.
What began as fan-fiction soon took deeper root, and she was scribbling out strange little
stories in empty notebooks she found laying around the house. With qualifications in transport and office administration, and a combined career of
fifteen years in these industries, Belinda decided to uproot everything in 2013 and return
to her first love of writing. She now writes full-time, between cups of coffee, binge
watching television, and feeding her cats and husband.
In April 2016, she was awarded the JOLT Courthouse Youth Arts Award in the Inspire 26+
Category for her piece Obsession. In February 2017, her book Love And Other Midnight Theories clawed its way to the top of
the Amazon charts in its category of Performing Arts, beating JK Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts
and Where to Find Them. True story – she has the screenshots to prove it. When not dabbling in the written word, Belinda can be found mentoring other writers,
beta-reading, reviewing, helping others to ready books for publication, and sleeping.
