Sometimes the right person is right in front of you, even if it takes a series of unexpected twists to see it. Gina Emerson finally feels like she's on the right path-she's traded in her law and medical textbooks for flour, sugar, and the thrill of the kitchen. Everything's going smoothly... until Randy Thorn shows up. Randy is the pompous, big-city celebrity chef Gina loves to hate. His mission? To whip their small-town café into shape. But from day one, all they've done is butt heads. He's insufferable, demanding, and way too attractive for his own good. And don't get her started on that smirk of his.

As their fiery arguments heat up, so does the undeniable chemistry. One minute they're trading insults, the next, they're sneaking around, making all kinds of messes in the kitchen after hours. Keeping things casual is impossible when sparks are flying left and right.

Now, they're tangled in a secret fling, sneaking around and trying to act professional (key word: trying). But when an unexpected twist threatens to expose them, Gina's left wondering if their secret romance is about to be blown wide open-or if maybe, just maybe, she's found something real in the most unlikely place.

In this heartwarming enemies-to-lovers story between a bossy chef and his spirited employee, there's witty banter, personal growth, and heartfelt relationships. Set in a small town filled with gossiping mothers and more than enough love to go around, nobody's life will ever be the same.
