Synopsis
There are no coincidences. Aurelie Bredin, a beautiful Parisian restaurateur, is sure of this truth. On a gloomy Friday in November, when Aurelie is feeling depressed after a breakup, she discovers a novel entitled "The Smiles of Women" in a quaint bookshop on the Ile-St.-Louis. Astonishingly, her restaurant and she herself are featured in its pages. After reading the entire book in one night, Aurelie wishes more than anything to meet the author of the novel because she is convinced that, without even realizing it, he has saved her life. However, her wish proves to be a difficult, almost impossible, endeavour. All attempts to contact the attractive but shy English author through his French publishers are blocked by the company's gruff editor-in-chief, Andre, who only with great reluctance forwards Aurelie's enthusiastic letter. But Aurelie refuses to give up. One day, a response from the reclusive author actually lands in her mail box, but the encounter that eventually takes place is completely different from what she had ever imagined.

Review
"These are The Ingredients of Love a delightful heroine, a mysterious hero, romance, Paris, and beaucoup de charme!" --Ellen Sussman, New York Times bestselling author of French Lessons
"I loved every moment of being transported to Paris in this charming, disarming novel about matters of the heart. A gem of a novel, sparkling with surprises." --Melissa Senate, author of The Love Goddess' Cooking School and See Jane Date
"A frothy exposé of the perils of book packaging, seasoned with a soupcon of culinary courtship...Lovers of Paris and voyeurs of the French publishing scene will find much to relish." --Kirkus Reviews
From the Back Cover
The day begins like any other Saturday for beautiful Parisian restaurateur Aurélie Bredin, until she wakes up to find her apartment empty - her boyfriend run off with another woman. Heartbroken, Aurélie wanders the streets of Paris until she finds a little bookshop where she's drawn to a novel titled The Smiles of Beautiful Women by obscure English author Robert Miller. When she begins to read she's astonished: this can't possibly be about her restaurant, about her. Except, it is. Curiou to know more, Aurélie attempts to get in touch with the reclusive Mr Miller, but it proves to be a daunting task. While Editor-in-Chief André Chabanais is happy to give Aurélie his time, he seems mysteriously unwilling to help her find her author. Is Robert Miller really so shy, or is there something that André isn't telling Aurélie?
