Rowe
The self-absorbed and devilishly charming head chef Ambrose Casablancas lives for a single passion—gastronomy.
Women in his world are more of an obstacle—and especially Calla Litvin, the best friend of his younger sister. Just her presence causes problems… and, what’s worse, being near her becomes much hotter than a stove.
And Ambrose already has plenty of concerns: opening a new restaurant is on the horizon, a multi-million contract is ahead, and he also needs to deal with a stalker.
And right then, Cal appears at the doorstep. With each day she works in his establishment, his patience and resolve melt away.
Because Calla is no longer the naive schoolgirl. Now she’s the woman for whom he’s capable of crossing any boundaries.
Cal
Life rarely gives the strange, kind, and far too empathetic Calа Litvin any indulgences. She returns to her hometown to be near her mother, crushed by grief, and dreams of getting closer to her best friend again. But Dylan is now inseparable from his gloomy brother—that very guy Calla fell in love with even back in school.
Falling for him again is a mistake on epic scale. Only Calla is able to step on the same rake again and again.
