A single mom and a playboy chef are forced to work together in this spicy small town workplace romance from the author of Bottle Shock and Blush Crush.

She’s sworn off chefs. He loves a challenge.

Angelina ‘Lina’ Alvarez is a survivor. As a single mom starting over in Red Mountain, she’s built a life that’s steady, safe, and predictable—until a new job puts her alongside the one man she’s determined to avoid. Working with Shane Ledger means seeing him every day, and Lina already learned the hard way that nothing good comes from getting too close to a chef. Keeping things professional is the plan. But between late nights in the kitchen and arguments that feel like foreplay, the walls she’s spent years building start to crack.

Shane Ledger has yet to meet a challenge or a woman he couldn’t win over. As Red Mountain’s most notorious chef, he’s perfected the art of never sticking around long enough to disappoint anyone. But after his latest situationship ends badly, he commits to a year of celibacy. Which would be a lot easier if the one woman he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about wasn’t working right next to him.

When Shane lands a spot on a televised cooking competition against the chef he’s idolized for years, he has no idea he’s about to discover exactly why Lina swore off chefs for good—and that winning means nothing if it costs him her.

What starts as friction between two people who shouldn’t work becomes the perfect balance neither of them saw coming.
