Truly Madly Deeply

Ambrose Casablancas lives for perfection — Michelin stars, flawless plating, and absolute control. Women are distractions he doesn’t indulge. Especially not Cal Litvin — his little sister’s best friend, the woman he’s spent years pretending to forget. But when Cal returns to their hometown — broke, grieving, and desperate for a job — she lands on the doorstep of his brand-new restaurant. Suddenly, the girl who once got under his skin is standing in his kitchen, ruining his focus and igniting every forbidden thought he’s ever tried to suppress. Cal knows falling for Ambrose again would be a disaster. He’s arrogant, insufferable, and far too good at getting what he wants. But the longer she works beside him, the harder it is to resist the heat simmering between them. Because in Ambrose’s kitchen, patience burns fast —and second chances have a habit of going up in flames.
