Violet Morgan puts the personal in personal chef, catering to clients who want the full cooking experience rather than a culinary drop-and-dash. But when her brotherβs police detective partner is injured in the line of duty and needs help during recovery, she makes an exception. Violet lost her father to the job seven years ago, and worries for her brotherβs safety every day. The last thing she wants is to get up-close with her brotherβs career-cop partnerβ¦again.
For Noah Blackwell, being a detective isnβt just a lifestyle, itβs a legacy. So when heβs forced to take mandatory leave and deal with the trauma amnesia keeping him from identifying his shooter, itβs as if insult and injury have joined forcesβ and now heβs got to deal with an unwanted caregiver on top of it. Never mind that he and Violet shared a steamy, secret kiss last New Yearβs Eve. She rejects everything related to the job, and Noahβs not about to be distracted from recovering his memory and getting back to what he does best. No matter how pretty Violet is.
Despite their differences, Violet and Noah share a surprising bond in the kitchen that grows into something neither of them expect. But as Noah heals and their feelings for each other extend from the kitchen to the bedroom, Violet knows she must make an impossible choice. She may wear her heart on her sleeve in the kitchen, but can she put love on the line?
