From the author of Pride Prejudice and Other Flavors comes another clever deeply layered
and heartwarming romantic comedy that follows in the Jane Austen tradition-this time with a
twist on Persuasion. Chef Ashna Raje desperately needs a new strategy. How else can she save
her beloved restaurant and prove to her estranged overachieving mother that she isn't a
complete screw up? When she's asked to join the cast of Cooking with the Stars the latest hit
reality show teaming chefs with celebrities it seems like just the leap of faith she needs to
put her restaurant back on the map. She's a chef what's the worst that could happen? Rico
Silva that's what. Being paired with a celebrity who was her first love the man who ghosted
her at the worst possible time in her life only proves what Ashna has always believed: leaps
of faith are a recipe for disaster. FIFA winning soccer star Rico Silva isn't too happy to be
paired up with Ashna either. Losing Ashna years ago almost destroyed him. The only silver
lining to this bizarre situation is that he can finally prove to Ashna that he's definitely
over her. But when their catastrophic first meeting goes viral social media becomes obsessed
with their chemistry. The competition on the show is fierce...and so is the simmering desire
between Ashna and Rico. Every minute they spend together rekindles feelings that pull them
toward their disastrous past. Will letting go again be another recipe for heartbreak-or a
recipe for persuasion...? In Recipe for Persuasion Sonali Dev once again takes readers on an
unforgettable adventure in this fresh fun and enchanting romantic comedy.
