About this ebook

Meet the OG Matzo Ballers: eight friends who became found family, living and loving their best lives on a yearly Hanukkah harbor cruise around Manhattan…

It was only a fling.

Pastry chef Libby Sugarman planned to spend her Palm Beach getaway making Hanukkah donuts—not getting swept into a whirlwind weekend with the mysterious, devastatingly handsome artist who painted her like one of his muses and kissed her like he already knew her soul. Two nights, no strings. Easy, right?

Until their worlds collided…

Rabbi Micah Wasserman thought he could keep his worlds separate: rabbi in New York, secret artist in Palm Beach. But one unforgettable weekend with Libby shatters his resolve. When their paths collide again on the Matzo Baller cruise, Micah is desperate to hold on to the woman who makes him feel both holy and undone—if his carefully guarded secret doesn’t sink them first.

She thinks she’s too much. He thinks he’s not enough. But eight nights of Hanukkah have a way of working miracles…

Challah-day Fling is a fling-to-forever Hanukkah romance with a Grease-style reunion, a secret identity twist, and a heroine who refuses to dim her light—all wrapped in holiday sparkle, found family warmth, and opposites attract tension.

About the author

Amanda Usen has spent most of her life immersed in story—and butter, sugar, flour, and eggs. She fortified her English BA with a degree from the Culinary Institute of America, figuring a professional chef would never be a starving writer. Amanda loves chocolate, cheese, yoga, and carbs in all forms. When she isn’t writing or cooking, she can usually be found reading or hanging out with her small menagerie of cats, plants, and mostly-grown children.
