What&rsquo;s even harder to believe is that Elle with her painted red lips and fiery disposition is in my bed and making me forget I need to win this damn show to get my little sister out of the foster care system.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When Elle throws me under the bus to realize her dream will our love burn out or will we find the missing ingredient to happiness?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em>The Missing Ingredient is the first book in the romantic comedy series Reality of Love.&nbsp;</em></p>
