Description
After a disastrous, injury-filled exit from a high-stakes cooking competition, Sundia Sharma is ready to hang up her chef’s apron for good. But when a culinary icon offers her a life-changing internship, she realizes her dream isn't dead—it’s just getting complicated. The biggest hurdle? Moving into an apartment with Avery Daniels, the celebrity chef’s icy, hyper-efficient personal assistant.
Avery is a West Coast legend for all the wrong reasons: she’s brilliant, undeniably chic, and notoriously uninterested in long-term commitments. She keeps her professional guard up at all times, making her the ultimate distraction for an associate who desperately needs to focus on her career. Sundia knows she must keep things strictly platonic to avoid another professional catastrophe, but living in cramped quarters with the irresistibly cool Avery turns out to be a recipe for disaster.
As the kitchen heat rises and their walls begin to buckle, the tension between them shifts from professional sparring to undeniable chemistry. Can they keep their professional ambitions intact without giving in to the slow burn of attraction? Avery Daniels is everything Sundia shouldn’t want, yet she’s exactly what the heart ordered.
