***Featured in People Magazine !!! Love is on the menu in this humorous and heartfelt novel about the bonds of found family and unexpected romance, set in the city where anything is possible. Thea Rogers’ life is nothing like her romantic, elegant pastries. It’s more like a dull, dry rice cake. Since spending that magical year in Paris in a work-study program at Nanine Laurent’s restaurant ten years ago, she’s been determined to create a delicious life for herself. But without that certain je ne sais quoi of the City of Lights and the support of her five Paris roommates, Thea’s lost sight of her dream of opening her own boulangerie. Worst yet, she’s lost sight of herself. Still, she puts on her sunshine persona, sticks another batch of croissants in the oven, and gets through each day—an overworked, underpaid baker living life through her favorite movies. Then she gets the call that everyone dreads: her beloved Nanine has fallen ill. Thea knows what she needs to do: go back to Paris. With the help of her roommates, they can get Nanine and her troubled restaurant back on their feet. What she doesn’t realize: her former roommates can see she needs help too. They might be the unlikeliest of friends, totally different from her and from each other, but they see her—more than her own flesh and blood. They always have her back, and while they assist their host mother with her restaurant, they cluster around plain Jane Thea to give her the makeover of her life. New clothes and hair are definitely on the menu, particularly after Thea meets “Mr. Pinstripes,” Nanine’s gorgeous lawyer. Only real-life intrudes on her fairy tale when Thea’s finally offered her dream: ownership of a bakery back in Small Town, USA. She would have to leave her found family and the man she’s fallen in love with. Will she choose the security of what she knows? Or dare to dream even bigger than she has before? Reinvention, rediscovery, and romance… Meet THE PARIS ROOMMATES. The good-girl baker Thea Rogers. The restless dreamer Dean Harris. The driven fashion writer Brooke Adams.

If only love was all bonbons and champagne. But in reality—at least the reality tech venture capitalist Dean Harris knows—love is all give and no take until he’s discouraged and alone. At least that was what it was like in his last relationship. In the end, she was more interested in his Midas touch for turning tech companies to gold than she was in him. So leaving San Francisco for Paris to hang out with his awesome chosen family? A no brainer. Now that he’s back in Paris, instead of bringing other people’s dreams to fruition, maybe he’ll be able to focus on his own. If only he knew what that was. He’s used to helping other people, not himself. But Dean knows there’s a true “It” idea waiting for him, something that will set him on fire and make him excited about life the way he felt when he launched his first startup. And if anything is going to spark that creativity, it’s his old roommates and their new restaurant endeavor. And maybe the sexy and mysterious Jacqueline, who’s starting her own business. Only he can’t be sure. Is Jacqueline really his dream girl? Their white-hot connection speaks of something more lasting—beyond steak frites and kisses along the Seine. Or is she just using him and his Midas touch to fund her own dreams, and he’s risking getting burned again? It seems Paris isn’t done teaching him about life, but will Dean listen? Or will he let the past dictate his heart and keep him from his very own happily ever after? Reinvention, rediscovery, and romance… Fall in love with THE PARIS ROOMMATES.

It’s absolute hell—he can’t drown out his parents’ criticism that he’s not good enough, despite how much his roommates assure him. And then there’s this girl… She loves that he’s a throwback to another time with his love for old books, romantic gestures, and linen handkerchiefs. Even better, she’s in the art world and knows good work. She says she believes in him, but will she still if he doesn’t make it? Is this happily ever after, or just another prelude to heartbreak?
