Chloe Daniels doesn't need a man--after escaping a marriage gone bad,
she guards her heart as closely as the details of her past. So when
hot-tempered celebrity chef Ben "the Beast" Haddox storms into her
struggling toy store, Chloe is determined not to be drawn in by his
broad shoulders...or baby-blue eyes.
In his hometown, Ben's culinary career is almost as famous as his
bad-boy rep. He's out to prove to naysayers he's a success by opening a
new restaurant--and the only thing standing in his way is Chloe's store.
But before he has a chance to convert her space into his signature
eatery, she cooks up a plan to show him that her shop is worth saving.
As things start to sizzle between them, Chloe must figure out how to
avoid getting burned. Can she trust herself to love again, or has she
jumped out of the frying pan and into desire?
