The Secret of Orange Blossom Cake by Rachel Inden.

"Rising star Jules Costa loves re-creating vintage recipes for her popular online cooking show. But when personal and professional disaster strikes, her only chance to save her career is to complete her new cookbook before the end of the summer.

Seeking culinary inspiration, she's hoping to convince her spunky eighty-year-old Nonna Bruna to share her precious collection of family recipes. Jules's plans quickly go awry as she discovers that Nonna's cookbook has magical and unpredictable powers. It reveals only one recipe at a time, offering a cooking experience guaranteed to satisfy the chef's palate and bring clarity to their life. Yet the pages remain stubbornly blank for Jules. To make matters worse, the olive farm is in deep financial trouble, and Jules soon uncovers a web of family secrets involving the cookbook and a lost recipe for orange blossom cake that holds the key to everything. Then there's Nicolo, the boy next door, who broke her young heart years ago. He is now all grown up, even more attractive, and the only person poised to help Jules find answers. In a whirlwind summer beyond her imagination, Jules begins to unravel the mysteries baked into her family's history and discovers the essential ingredients to create the future of her dreams."-- Provided by publisher.

Wild Card by Elsie Silver.

"Sebastian Rousseau is a grumpy, hot-as-hell fire pilot who is too damn good with his hands. It's the perfect combination. But unfortunately for Gwen, he's also her ex-boyfriend's dad. A chance meeting brought them together, and a missed connection has kept them apart. One year later, a stroke of fate has them living under the same roof-which makes everything between them downright messy. Because even after all this time, he's still the man Gwen thinks about when she falls asleep. The one she can't get over no matter how hard she tries. Bash is working on mending a fragile relationship with his son, and he and Gwen both know acting on these urges would be the ultimate betrayal. But Gwen sees the heat in his eyes. That look of need that never fails to send a shiver down her spine. The mutual longing is borderline unbearable, and the simmering heat between them is downright palpable. They both know there are rules when it comes to situations like this. But then again . . . following the rules has never felt so futile."-- Provided by publisher.

In his final days, as the Wild West fades into history, Bill Cody faces one last reckoning. The showman, the warrior, the legend—what remains when the curtain falls? Will the man who shaped the frontier find peace, or will the past ride hard on his heels one last time?
