Everything But the Name
(2026)(A book in the Secret Baby Billionaire Romance series)
A novel by Maggie Calloway
He asked for the divorce in the walk-in cooler, forty minutes into a Friday service.
A hundred and eighty covers on the book. Eleven tickets already hanging. Merrick Sterett picked the one room in the building with no camera in it, told his wife he was in love with someone else, and then went back out to the dining room to greet a four-top.
Teddy Whealton could have walked out the back door and let a hundred and eighty dinners find out what happens to a restaurant when its kitchen leaves at six-forty on a Friday.
She cooked the whole service instead. A hundred and seventy-four covers. Two sent back, both correctly.
And she never mentioned the pregnancy test folded into the pouch on her chest where the thermometer went.
For eight years the reviews had called Sterett's the best restaurant in Baltimore and had never once printed her name. In the settlement his lawyers wanted to keep her out of every kitchen in the city for three years — and Merrick struck the clause himself, in front of six witnesses, because he wanted to be seen being generous.
"Let her cook," he said. "I want everybody to watch."
Twenty-two of his twenty-six cooks walked out behind her.
What none of them knew was that her recipes were already sitting in another woman's cookbook, on their way into a million and a half kitchens.
And that six of them were wrong on purpose.
A romance about a woman who takes nothing with her except the people who already knew what she was worth — and the man who offers to help, gets told no, and is the first person in her life who can stand it.
A low-spice, closed-door romance with no explicit sexual content and a guaranteed happily ever after.
Genre: Romance
