A Serving of Scandal

Prue Leith

From star of Great British Bake Off heart-wrenching romantic fiction about a scandalous love affair between a professional cook and a high-ranking politician. If exposed it could wreck both their careers.

Kate is thirty-six and mother to five-year-old Toby. She has a thriving business catering for private clients and her life is on an even keel. That is until she gets a job cooking lunch at the Foreign Office and has her first fateful meeting with Oliver Stapler Secretary of State. He's powerful and charismatic but also married and a father. He's totally out of bounds but she falls for him.

When a journalist spots them together he alerts the gutter press. Who cares whether Kate's affair with Oliver is true or not? It's a great story and will sell a ton of newspapers - and destroy several lives in the process.
