The Dangers of Truffle Hunting

Is it too late to throw caution to the wind? Kit Gossard is a successful food photographer from a family of boutique wine-makers, the descendants of a French viticulture dynasty. Engaged to industrial designer Scott, her life seems perfect and her future neatly mapped, yet she can't escape a hunger for ... more. With her heart restless and art constrained, when someone new appears Kit finds herself unable to contain her simmering discontent. Darkly reserved and inexplicably magnetic, this self-governed man calls out in Kit something that she has long suppressed. Black truffle hunting, illicit pastry lessons, and vine fruit on flesh: Kit's sanitised world starts to come undone and she likes it. She gives herself over to this raw, unfettered world, but suddenly it crumbles. This new man is not who he seems; a dormant ancestral feud reignites and Kit is more lost than found. In settings that channel Gourmet Traveller, Wallpaper and Vogue, in locations that span the Australian wine country and the French provinces, Kit must overcome social expectation and fear of her own wildness to hold on to her true self and meet her match. Artful and earthy, sophisticated and raw, hungry and sated, The Dangers of Truffle Hunting asks the question: can a man be more to a woman than her destination?
