Emerson “Emi” Blake dropped out of culinary school to care
for her ailing mother, but she has bigger dreams than
running St. Helena’s most popular pita cart. First on the
menu: upgrade to a gourmet food truck. A new part-time job
as a personal chef will definitely provide the funds, but
it
also forces her into close contact with her one and only
one-night stand, Dax Baudouin, who’s daring her to try a
second taste.
Former army Ranger Dax has a clear mission: come home, get
healed, and get gone. Yet Emi’s tough-girl exterior and
hidden soft side are even harder to resist than her
mouthwatering baklava. After years of battles, he knows
better than to try and rescue anyone—not that she’ll let
him
get close enough to try.
Truth is, Dax is starting to think that Emi’s the one
person
who can save him…if he can just persuade her to give him
another shot.
