He’d do almost anything to get recognition…
To prove himself capable of becoming a head chef and earning a coveted Michelin star, Elliott Cole had worked sixteen-hour days for almost a year to restore Robles to its former glory. Only, instead of giving him the coveted position, the owner gives the fruits of Elliott’s labors to another chef—one who certainly doesn’t deserve a second chance.
Drinking had destroyed Luca Brandt’s life, costing him more than just his career. A month in rehab and a dedicated sponsor got him back on shaky legs, but a fresh start at a new restaurant could keep him on the wagon. Despite his battered reputation, Luca still had his name, and the owner of Robles wants a name. With a tenuous grip on sobriety, the only way Luca can make things work is if he keeps Elliott in his kitchen.
Furious but no fool, Elliott stays, thinking he can ride on Luca’s coattails to a coveted head chef position, only to discover there’s a lot more to the man behind the scandal that destroyed a once fashionable restaurant. When their strong working relationship turns into a powerful friendship with the promise of something more, will Elliott and Luca find a way to have it all, or will they let one another go?
This contemporary enemies-to-lovers workplace slow-burn gay romance contains one determined chef who lacks the ruthlessness necessary to succeed at all costs, a humbled chef discovering there’s more to life than fame and fortune, an unscrupulous restaurant owner, a steadfast sponsor who believes in second chances, and a lot of talk about food before a delicious happily ever after. 56,000 words or 224 pages.
