For the first time in years, Lily Montcrief is headed home for Thanksgiving. Her big city job just went up in flames and she needs a quiet weekend at home with good food and a lot of wine to plot her next move. What she doesn’t need? To walk into her family’s restaurant and find her ex-boyfriend, Myles Calhoun, looking sinfully sexy behind the stove and being embraced by her parents as if he’s the son they never had.
Finding out Myles is now the head chef—a job she always thought would be hers—leaves Lily feeling like a guest in her own home. So when a last-minute kitchen emergency threatens to derail the busiest day of the year, Lily grabs an apron and jumps in to help. But as she and Myles chop, saute and snipe their way through holiday prep, it’s clear the only thing more combustible than the deep fried turkey is their unresolved feelings for one another. And as the kitchen heats up, so does the tension between them.
Lily isn’t interested in a second helping of heartache but Myles is a temptation she could never resist. And really, what could one little taste hurt?
