When her best buddy Grant manages to get her a busing position at the famous restaurant where he works, Lilah is ready to begin a new adventure in life. She doesn't count on her life been turned absolutely upside down and inside out in the matter of hours, and all by one man -- TV superstar chef Devon Sparks. Devon Sparks is burned out. Tired of stress and constant demands of his popular Cooking Channel show, he jumps at the chance to help his friend Adam out by taking charge of Adam's restaurant Market for a couple of weeks. Celebrating the night before, he meets the lovely Lilah Jane and an instant attraction bursts into lusty flames. Before he can slam the lid down on the fire, Lilah has worked her way into his heart, his home and his kitchen, just like that. And when Lilah comes to Devon's rescue when his 10-year old son Tucker is unexpected dumped on his doorstep, Devon wondered how he ever managed to survive without her. Louisa Edwards continues her "A Recipe For Love" series with her latest book, ON THE STEAMY SID. And boy, is it ever steamy! You could fry an egg between these pages of bubbling hot romance! Bringing back many of the characters from her first book, Can't Stand The Heat, Edwards incorporates their back story into this new tale of love found among the pots and pans. With the popularity of the Food Network, Louisa Edward's delicious series will be a huge hit with foodies and romantics alike.

SUMMARY

When Lilah Jane Tunkle fled her dull life in Virginia for the bright lights of New York City, she didn’t expect to wind up a nanny to a gorgeous celebrity chef’s ten-year- old son. Working for the delectable Devon Sparks is a sure- fire recipe for disaster, especially after Lilah gets a tantalizing taste of his perfectly seasoned kisses... Devon’s not sure he can handle one more surprise ingredient in his lifeβ€”he quit his popular TV show, his culinary reputation is on the line, and now the son he barely knows is back for seconds. Lilah’s Southern sass is supposed to keep the boy in line, but soon enough she’s teaching Devon a thing or two about homespun food...and turning up the heat.
