A heartwarming, slow-burn romance full of second chances, emotional depth, and swoon-worthy moments.

Natalie Reyes isn't here for love-she's here to rebuild her life. After heartbreak, setbacks, and the slow unraveling of her once-bright dreams, she takes a front-of-house job at Ember, the city's trendiest fine-dining restaurant. She expects to earn a paycheck. She doesn't expect to fall into the orbit of Luke Bennett-her infuriatingly stoic, ridiculously attractive boss who runs his kitchen like a fortress and wears emotional walls like armor.

Luke is a single father and a renowned chef who's built everything from scratch, including the restaurant that became his salvation after unimaginable loss. He has no interest in love. No time for distractions. No space in his world for anyone who might break what's left of his heart.

But Natalie? She sees past the gruff exterior. She sees the devoted dad, the lonely man, the fire beneath the surface.

What begins as a spark-an accidental touch, a lingering look-builds into something undeniable. But love isn't easy when the past refuses to let go. And when secrets come to light, both N

Natalie and Luke will be forced to ask themselves the hardest question:

Is love worth risking everything you've fought to protect?
