Description
Xavier Reynolds is doing less than stellar. He was just dumped, was passed over for a prestigious fellowship, and, to top it all off, he's right back home in Harper's Cove, Maine (population: 9,000). The last thing he wants to do is work as a prep chef in the kitchen of the hip new restaurant in town, The Wharf. Especially since the hot, single-father chef who owns it can't delegate to save his life.
Logan O'Hare doesn't understand Xavier or why every word out of his mouth is dipped in sarcasm. Unfortunately, he has no choice but to hire him — he needs more help in the kitchen and his tween daughter, Anne, can only mince so many onions. It might be a recipe for disaster, but Logan doesn't have many options besides Xavier.
Stuck between a stove and a hot place, Logan and Xavier discover an unexpected connection. But when the heat between them threatens to top the Scoville scale, they'll have to decide whether they can make their relationship work or whether life has seasoned them too differently.
