Rock Star Chef

Luca’s Point of View

In the vibrant world of the New York restaurant world, my Michelin-starred restaurant was once at the top, but now its star is fading.

The deaths of my mama and grandparents in Italy cast shadows over my passion, leaving me in a culinary rut. Not only am I haunted by their loss, but a realization gnaws at me—I’ve sacrificed love and family for my career as a rock star in my youth and now a restaurant star. My gruff exterior hides a longing for romance and family.

Then, she walks in—the enigmatic Olivia, my new sous-chef. We had a wordless affair one afternoon in France a year ago, and never thought we would see other again. Now sparks fly as she revamps my kitchen and my life, rekindling the flames of excitement and passion I thought extinguished.
