Food Fight!
Book One in the MOUTHWATERING series
She’s got something to prove. He’s got everything to lose. When the kitchen
gets heated, can two enemies whip up romance?
Charlie Heffernan longs to earn a place at the table. So the debt-laden chef is
delighted that even without a formal culinary education, she scores a spot on a hot
new reality cooking show. But she nearly boils over when she finds out the hunky
high school bully who betrayed her will be her fiercest competitor.
Drew Salinger still burns from the bad reviews. Hoping to help a friend with the
food truck program’s prize money, he’s desperate for a win after the humiliation of a
recent defeat… even if it means playing dirty with his adversary’s heart. But he fears
his cunning plan could backfire when he falls head-over-heels for his old nemesis.
With each dish Charlie serves alongside the charming rogue, she’s torn between
suspecting him of flirtation or out-and-out sabotage. And when a woman from
Drew’s past makes an untimely return, he worries his chances at both passion and
victory will go up in flames.
Can these bitter rivals find the recipe for the sweetest of loves?
