Rivals-to-lovers with a side of trust issues: A recipe for disaster...or the start of something SCRUMPTIOUS?

Pastry Chef Marlene Bennet has been eyeing Joe Rafferty for years—both because of his Michelin-starred hands and the way he fills out chef whites. A hot, no-strings fling with the culinary Casanova? Yes, chef.

Until he shows up at Chameleon and slides into her head chef job. Marlene has invested too much of herself in the restaurant to hand it over to someone else—especially a cocky-as-all-get-out superstar chef. But there's no denying he lights her fire.

Joe's just doing a favor for a friend—take the reins, steady the kitchen, then move on. He's finally ready to leave his bad-boy past behind and find something real. And the bold, brilliant pastry chef driving him to distraction isn't forever material.

With the future of the restaurant on the line, can these two rivals-turned-lovers learn to trust each other—or will it all go up in flames?
