Synopsis:
From USA Today bestselling author Erin Scoggins comes a witty, heartfelt romcom about a big-city food forecaster, a brooding small-town chef, and the thirty days that might change everything.
She can’t cook. He won’t leave. And the hottest thing coming out of the kitchen might just be their chemistry.
When Cora Lockwood’s boyfriend betrays her by stealing her idea and tanking her career, her perfect life collapses, leaving her with a battered reputation and a one-way ticket home.
Returning to Sunrise, North Carolina, Cora plans to sell her grandmother’s café and move on. But The Salty Spoon isn’t empty—it has been taken over by Jack Harlow, the stubborn chef who’s staked his future on bringing her family’s recipes back to life. With a developer circling and long-hidden secrets bubbling up, they’ve got thirty days to fight over the café’s fate: sell it or save it. And neither plans to back down.
With the clock ticking, Cora and Jack become unlikely partners in chaos, tangled in late-night cooking lessons, small-town meddling, and one inconvenient attraction that has sparks flying both in and out of the kitchen.
Brimming with Southern sass, laugh-out-loud banter, and a swoony slow-burn romance, The Next Big Thing is perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez, Emily Henry, and Sarah Adams.
