I never wanted her in my town.
One look at that stuck-up Michelin-star chef with her ruined linen blouse and her ‘fourteen-step plan’ and I should’ve kicked her out immediately.
Instead I let her stay—because the lease is mine, the walls are thin, and every time she glares at me across the smoke I feel her hate turn into something hotter.
She fights me on everything. The smell of my brisket. The way I take my time. The fact that I own every inch of the building she’s trying to rebuild her life inside.
But the more she pushes, the more I want to pin her against that walk-in door and show her exactly how slow I can make her fall apart.
She thinks she’s leaving when the festival’s over.
She doesn’t know she’s already carrying my baby.
And I’m done pretending I’m letting her go.
Read on for small-town enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, a possessive single-dad pitmaster, and a chef who learns the only thing worth burning is everything she used to be. HEA guaranteed!
