Is romance on the menu for a lonely CEO and a talented chef?

Towanda Mathis is the bold business owner used to calling the shots and reaping success with every new endeavor. Privately, she’s tired of standing on the sidelines and cheering for her friends’ love lives. She craves a love of her own, but only with a man she knows she shouldn’t pursue.

Gabriel Seay is the executive chef of eatLARGE, one of the city’s hottest new eateries. Grateful for the opportunity to showcase his culinary skills, he wants to stay focused on the creativity in his food and the restaurant’s success. But he loses control fast when his attraction to eatLARGE’s owner heats up faster than a stainless steel skillet.

When Towanda asks Gabriel to attend a weekend event on Martha’s Vineyard, their friendship transforms from strictly professional to closer than ever before. Towanda adores Gabriel’s companionship and the way he makes her feel. Gabriel can’t say no to the striking woman who captivates him.

Crossing boundaries causes calamity when Gabriel can’t shake the notion that Towanda needs a high-value man, not a humble chef. Meanwhile, Towanda has trouble understanding why such a sweet and sensitive man is skeptical about unconditional love. Can they take their relationship to the next level, or will they destroy their business and their respect for one another by letting love interfere?
