Taylor:
If it weren’t for my jerk of an ex, I wouldn’t be back to waiting tables just to stay afloat.
The plan was simple: keep my head down, collect tips, and rebuild.
It all seemed pretty simple, until I saw him.
Nick, the brooding, brawny owner and head chef.
He’s my boss, which should be a dealbreaker…
But with his lethal smile and big, hulking arms, he’s hard to resist.
He wants me; I feel it.
But can I really risk my shot at freedom for a fling with the man who signs my paycheck?
Nick:
Ever since I was a chubby kid helping my mom in the kitchen, I’ve dreamed of owning a restaurant.
Now that dream’s finally within reach, and I’m up to my eyeballs in stress.
I’m swamped with permits, inspections, and a to-do list a mile long…
Then Taylor shows up.
She’s curvy, insanely gorgeous, and completely off-limits.
We open in less than twenty-four hours,
But the more I try to focus on my goals, the more I find myself thinking about her.
And how fast I can make her mine.
