Sometimes the right person is standing right in front of you… even if you want to strangle them first. A small-town, enemies-to-lovers romcom with sharp banter and a twist that changes everything.
Gina Emerson finally has her life on track. She walked away from law school, ditched medical textbooks, and followed her real passion—baking in her small-town café. It’s simple. It’s safe. It’s hers.
Until he shows up.
Randy Thorn is everything Gina can’t stand—arrogant, demanding, and a Michelin-starred celebrity chef with a reputation for perfection. He’s been brought in to “fix” the café, and from the moment he steps into her kitchen, sparks fly—and not the good kind.
They clash. Constantly.
Over recipes. Over control. Over who’s actually in charge.
But somewhere between the arguments and late nights in the kitchen, the tension shifts. Lines blur. And suddenly, their battles start turning into something far more dangerous.
Because fighting him is easy.
Not wanting him? Impossible.
Now they’re sneaking around, breaking every rule they swore they’d follow—and risking everything Gina’s worked for.
And when one unexpected complication changes everything, keeping their relationship a secret is no longer an option.
Now Gina has to decide: Protect the life she built or take a chance on the one man who could ruin it—and might just be worth it.
