A delectable new romance by author Sologne Schumacher that will leave you salivating for more—perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory, Talia Hibbert and Sara Desai. After years of cooking and studying abroad, Philadelphia James has finally gotten the job of her dreams: running a restaurant in the heart of San Francisco.

After all of her hard work, being belittled, disrespected and ignored, she’ll be damned if anything or anyone gets in the way of making a name for herself in the fine dining world. Imagine her surprise when her new sous chef is none other than Mr.

Tall, Dark and Sexy– the man who rejected her at the bar last night, and reminded her exactly why she should never let her guard down again. She didn’t expect to be challenged by this frustrating, exhilarating man, and to want him more each day.

Despite her resolve to keep a professional distance from him, Elias sparks something in her that she’s not sure she can ignore. Elias Reed has a massive chip on his shoulder and a burning hatred for his new boss, whoever they are.

This mystery chef came out of nowhere and snatched the promotion he had been working towards for ten years right out from under his nose. It was like he was doomed to never be good enough, to always be the least successful member of the Reed family.

He struggles to hold onto his hatred when his new boss turns out to be the beautiful goddess he danced with the night before, the woman with whom he could have seen a one-night stand turning into forever, before cowardice and old wounds made him step away. But now, forced to work alongside her everyday, as her subordinate, how can he reconcile the aggravation, hurt pride and stolen dreams with the desire she provokes in him?.
