A Short, Sweet, Sassy Second Chance After Divorce Romance for the Young at Heart

A distinguished food critic. A competitive baker. One matchmaker with a very strategic judging assignment.

When Dolly McGraw organizes Sunshine Village's annual bake-off competition, she has the perfect plan: recruit recently retired food critic Arthur Finch as the judge. What she conveniently forgets to mention is that reigning three-time champion Carolyn "Lindy" Lindstrom is his ex-wife—the same woman whose restaurant he destroyed with a scathing review during their messy divorce fifteen years ago.

Arthur moved to Sunshine Village hoping for a quiet retirement. Instead, he finds himself judging a competition where the star contestant would rather poison his coffee than accept his critique. Lindy has spent years perfecting her craft and her winning streak, but having her ex-husband evaluate her "Desserts That Tell Your Life Story" feels like emotional warfare disguised as a bake-off.

Between Earl's catastrophic kitchen inventions, residents smuggling premium vanilla like contraband, and a showstopper challenge featuring wedding cakes (Dolly's subtlety knows no bounds), these culinary combatants must navigate flour explosions, sabotage accusations, and the realization that some recipes are worth a second chance.

Dolly McGraw says: “Love is like a soufflé—it requires perfect timing, the right temperature, and someone brave enough to risk the beautiful disaster, darlings.”

If you love The Golden Girls, Grace and Frankie, or charming short romances filled with sass, scandals, and second chances, you'll feel right at home in Sunshine Village.

Read it in just 90 minutes—ideal for waiting rooms, wine o'clock, or whenever you need a laugh. Just don't spill your drink when the kitchen disasters get out of hand.
