Out of the Frying Pan

When things sizzle, you’re prone to get burned.

In the heart of Denver, I’m about to embark on my dream project as a restaurateur, opening a new branch of Lillian Mae’s in my hometown.

But my journey takes an unexpected turn when I meet JP Dawson, a rugged Southern chef with more to offer than just a thick accent.

While I initially doubt JP’s ability to carry on my grandmother’s legacy, his culinary skills quickly win me over, igniting a fiery attraction between us.

As we prepare for the grand opening, life throws us a surprising curveball.
I discover I’m pregnant after a one-night stand, and in a twist of fate, I ask JP to pretend to be my fiancé to appease my conservative mother.

What starts as a charade turns into something much deeper, and JP’s protective instincts grow increasingly stronger along the way. And yet, I’m poised to return to a whole other life in New York City.

Decadent dishes, hot romance, and cultural clashes blend in this tale of love, food, and sacrifice.
