"Too early seen unknown, and known too late." ~Juliet Capulet

Of all the women in the world, or at least in Bridgewater, why did I have to fall for this one?

When she walked into my brother's wedding reception, I fell quick and hard. Until I learned her name.

Nope. No way. Not for me.

I have no intention of dating my biggest competitor. The new owner of Mama Leoni's Restaurant is clearly off-limits. But when a local newspaper links us as a couple, my brother suggests we play it up for "good press."

I agree.

For the sake of my new restaurant.

Not because the mere sight of Evie Fuller sets my blood on fire.

Turns out the only thing more complicated than a fake relationship with my biggest rival is a real one. This situation has gotten out of hand much too quickly.

Time to cool it down or risk getting burned.
