What happens when an outgoing diner owner learns her quiet, gorgeous cook is internet-famous...and it's all because of her?

Bea

I've had a hand in bringing a few Wavecrest couples together, but I'm tired of love passing me by while I watch my friends find their one-and-only. My restaurant, Curly's, serves the best comfort food on the West Coast thanks to my friend and cook, Bruno. Big, steady, delicious Bruno. All I want is to keep Curly's running smoothly, interfere in my friends' lives, and daydream about the guy who runs the kitchen and rules my heart. I've been keeping my feelings for Bruno hidden, but something's gotta give.

Bruno

I just want to cook good food for good people and make Bea happy. She doesn't know about my successful side hustle, and she definitely doesn't know I do it all for her. There's no way in this world that she wants me the way I hunger for her, and I live in fear that our friendship will fall apart. I'm too old for Bea, and I'd just dull her bright, sparkling light. I dread the day she figures out what I've been doing. But now, thanks to a ketchup bottle, a handsy dirtbag, and a viral video, the secret's out.

If you love a boss/employee, age-gap romance with a big helping of friends-to-lovers and a cinnamon-roll silver fox, you'll adore this high heat, low drama story.

Welcome to Wavecrest, where the weather is foggy, the women are strong, and love is just around the corner. Each book in this series of small town, low angst, bite-sized stories can be read as a standalone, and features a satisfying happily ever after.
